A fellow identifying himself as Jonathan has posted a Youtube video explaining the Ferguson, Mo. riots.
He says Black people have to change and stop blaming White people.
It’s a beautiful rant. It pretty much sums things up.
Here it is courtesy of Cathy Craddock:
Ferguson Police have issued a statement concerning what led to the shooting. They said Michael Brown, 18, and another man were encountered by the officer, whose name has not been released, on the street. They then assaulted him, pushing him into his squad car. At that point shots were fired by the officer resulting in Brown’s death.
Police said the officer suffered facial injuries.
Dorian Johnson, who says he was the man with Brown, has a different story. He says the officer ordered them out of the street then opened his squad car door too close to the men causing it to bounce back in his face angering the officer. At that point, he says, the officer left the car, grabbed Brown’s neck and tried to pull him into the car. When Brown broke his grasp, the officer pulled his gun and started firing. Johnson says Brown had has hands raised when he was shot.
Regardless of whose version is true — and be certain the matter will be investigated by authorities beyond Ferguson — those rioting are not interested in justice.
