P.S. I hope there's no violence because they're just itching to shoot somebody else. Call their bluff. Please. #Ferguson

No value for black life. But they extrapolate our magic , sweat, our voice our fire... And leave us stripped of our right to exist

Don't really recall "Wilson standing over Brown and firing into back of body" being a dominant narrative.
