ITP V.014 EDITORS NOTE:
ITP's author is well aware of MICHAEL BROWN's death and the social upheaval in FERGUSON, MISSOURI during the past week. R.I.P to BROWN, as regarding his unlawful death at the hands of police brutality,  full accountability via independent investigators is order for justice. From robberies, to police brutality, to riots and arresting protesters and reporters, this whole scenario is shameful. FERGUSON, MISSOURI, PEACE.

Yeh, the onion nailed it, seriously..WTF with all of this. Trayvon, Garner, Brown. This negative stereotyping must end. A cop in Ferguson, Missouri shot a young black kid last week for robbing a convenience store as the video showed the kid was unarmed. Riots have broken out in Ferguson, Missouri since. I think ROBIN WILLIAMS tragic death, ironically pushed this issue into back lines instead of the headlines. The U.S. president made a statement last week. A GED is the lowest level of education a U.S. cop would need with Police Academy.
While I'm not encouraging the somewhat misguided riots, the community rage is predictable, or maybe I'm getting old. In both the Garner and Brown deaths at the hands of needless and unjustified police brutality, both NYPD and FERGUSON PD made insensitive statements/actions of denial, NYPD trumping up charges of witnesses filming Garners death instead of filtering out bad seed cops and mending community relations, really BAD PR via these law enforcement/police commissioners. Denial is not just a river in Egypt, and law enforcement are not listening to the communities they serve.

BTW, MICHAEL BROWN's INDEPENDENT  autopsy stated he was shot 6 times from a distance in front. 

All have a right to PEACEFULLY PROTEST.

FROM AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL:
“We criticize dictators for quelling dissent and silencing protestors with tactics like curfews, we’ll certainly speak out when it’s happening in our own backyard. The people of Ferguson have the right to protest peacefully the lack of accountability for Michael Brown’s shooting.”

FROM ACLU:
GREAT NEWS: ACLU of Missouri secured an agreement for people's right to record the police in ‪#‎Ferguson‬. “The role of both the media and the ACLU is to make sure that the rule of law is being followed,” explains Tony Rothert, legal director of the ACLU of Missouri. “It will be easier to do that in Ferguson, now that all parties agree the media, and the public at large, have the right to record police interactions.” More on your rights: www.aclu.org/kyr-police‪#‎justiceformikebrown‬
