Years of police violence and discrimination have given the people of Ferguson both the strength and indignation to stand up to THAT.

Even before this last murder, before the tear gas, the dogs, the rubber bullets, the police already had wronged their community.
The nation stares at the “extraordinary” happenings in Ferguson. But the everyday ordinary was also unacceptable. https://twitter.com/nateog91/status/499035489320857600/photo/1pic.twitter.com/soK49VeDrO

@sarahjeong@ADAMATOMIC yeah weird that a majority would have more stops???? -
.
@venatiodecorus@ADAMATOMIC it's still statistically disproportionate, sorry about how you are bad at math, logic, and basic morality -
@sarahjeong@ADAMATOMIC why are you mean when i simply raise a point? :( -
@venatiodecorus you didn't raise a point, you said something that is mathematically wrong. have the grace to acknowledge it.@sarahjeong -
@ericghill@sarahjeong if you check the demographics you'll see African-Americans are the majority there, so my statement was accurate thx!! -
@venatiodecorus@ericghill@sarahjeong Yes but even adjusted for that, it's still wildly disproportionate. -
@fnxTX yes but context is important still which was my point
