All You Need To Know About The Good People Of Ferguson In 5 MinutesThe Young Turks made this video. They are now my favorite newspeople because I grew up in St. Louis, just a short drive from Ferguson, and I needed some good news. After viscerally feeling the e-sigh relief upon sharing it with my mom and my sister and a lot of my friends who were like, "Ferguson is making me so sad, Lori," I decided to share it with you. Even though this story is really great to hear, in the face of what's happening in Ferguson, we can't forget how Ferguson began. Mike Brown, an unarmed, black teenager, is dead at the hands of the police. We can do better, America.

Even though this story is really great to hear, in the face of what's happening in Ferguson, we can't forget how Ferguson began. Mike Brown, an unarmed, black teenager, is dead at the hands of the police. We can do better, America. Nice to know that only a few people robbed this man and the entire community was there to support him at 5 am.

Story keeps changing as more "witnesses" weigh in news.yahoo.com/video/timeline-michael-brown-shooting-ferguson-061025136.html www.cbsnews.com/pictures/ferguson-police-release-surveillance-video-of-robbery-prior-to-fatal-shooting/www.foxnews.com/us/2014/08/20/missouri-cop-was-badly-beaten-before-shooting-michael-brown-says-source/eaglerising.com/8039/breaking-news-shocking-footage-may-exonerate-cop-ferguson-mo-shooting/excerpt: >“They ignored him and the officer started to get out of the car to tell them to move," the source said. "They shoved him right back in, that’s when Michael Brown leans in and starts beating Officer Wilson in the head and the face."< GO TO LINK FOR FULL STORY > The source told FoxNews.com on Wednesday that the officer had sustained a fractured eye socket in the incident, and repeated that assertion early Friday morning, in response to a conflicting report on the severity of the injuries. The source claims that there is "solid proof" that there was a struggle between Brown and Wilson for the policeman’s firearm, resulting in the gun going off – although it still remains unclear at this stage who pulled the trigger. Brown started to walk away according to the account, prompting Wilson to draw his gun and order him to freeze. Brown, the source said, raised his hands in the air, and turned around saying, "What, you're going to shoot me?" At that point, the source told FoxNews.com, the 6-foot-4, 292-pound Brown charged Wilson, prompting the officer to fire at least six shots at him, including the fatal bullet that penetrated the top of Brown's skull, according to an independent autopsy conducted at the request of Brown's family.< Read more: current.boards.net/thread/1115/all-good-people-ferguson?page=1#ixzz3DERHoYrd

update about the "Good" people of Ferguson. PASSERBY: “I JUST WANT TO GO HOME” Protesters in Ferguson have continued to gather on a nightly basis in the aftermath of the Michael Brown shooting by MAC SLAVO | SHTFPLAN.COM | OCTOBER 26, 2014 Protesters in Ferguson have continued to gather on a nightly basis in the aftermath of the Michael Brown shooting. They claim to be assembling peacefully, but as the video below shows, when a white man was passing through town a mob surrounded him and began making threats. The video shows the man telling his attackers that he just wants to go home. Another man is then heard saying “I don’t give a fuck what you wanna do.” In the background, a third man argues, “we’re standing up for what we believe.” As the victim tries to get away from the crowd he is immediately accosted by several men who hold him back while another grabs him by the neck. When he finally breaks free and walks away numerous individuals continue to pursue him. The following video uploaded to social media shows the incident from two different angles: www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=X4GZcwHyf2swww.infowars.com/peaceful-ferguson-protesters-attack-white-passerby-i-just-want-to-go-home/
