Another day, another unarmed teenager fatally shot by a cop.
The Internet erupted with rage as news broke of the cop involved shooting of 17-year-old Michael “Mike Mike” Brown in a neighborhood near St. Louis, MO., today.
St. Louis County Police spokesman Brian Schellman said the fatal shooting occurred in Ferguson, just north of downtown St. Louis.
Outraged Twitter users retweeted graphic photos of Mike Mike’s body laying in a pool of blood in the middle of the street.
Schellman said hundreds of angry protestors came out of nearby buildings. The angry crowd yelled profanities at the police.
He said the crowd was under control by 5 p.m.
Mike Mike’s mother, Lesley Mcspadden, expressed her anger and grief in a video shot by Instagram user Brittany Noble. “You don’t do a dog like that,” she said. “You didn’t have to shoot him eight times… You just shot all through my baby body!”

First they hid behind sheets and lynched our brothers father’s uncles husbands and sons… Now they hide behind badges and unload clips into descendants of mother Africa… This is a strategic and well thought out extermination… I hope that this family can find peace and this young man is able to rest
My god
Praying for all mothers with young black men:no:
@topic,
I am tired…..so tired of this never-ending epidemic. Like Marvin Gaye said, “What’s Goin On?” Now what excuse will be made in defense of the cops that fatally shot this young Black man?
@Jenie,
Girl, I am praying right along with you as we continue to listen to the blood from the martyrdom of Black and Brown boys.
@Roses,
I wonder how many White men are fatally shot in this manner?
I guess the White people (not all, just the racist ones) said if they can’t get us via the KKK movement, they will find other ways to extinguish our race.
Jesus, please be a safeguard around little boys of color. They are not safe in this country.
right along with Jenie
I just read about this madness. Police reform NOW!
R.I.P.
It is not safe being black these days (never was never will be) The more things change the more they stay the same, for us 
I just can’t deal.
Being shot in the leg only happens in the movies. Unfortunately, in real life cops don’t have good aim and that’s why this young boy got shot up the way he did
Reminds me of when Jada’s brother was shot in set it off.
People need to remember that a lot of psychologically unstable inviduals become cops cause they get the power and control they’ve been yearning for. They really need to do psychological testing before giving half these fools a gun
This is a damn shame. All because the boy was walking in the street. My siblings just turned 18 today. We find it hard to let them go when we know this is what is out there hunting them.
This is so sickening. I have a son who is a wonderful scholar, Christian, and athlete but all the police will ever see is the color of his skin. We all have to pray for these young men and it’s a shame I have to teach my son a different set of rules when dealing with the police than my neighbor “Becky” does. I am so tired of reading about how our young men are being gunned down for no apparent reason…something has got to give!!!
My God, my God our young black men needs you in the community Lord. Please do not forsake them. Please do not continue to let them fall victim to this. Please do not continue to allow the police to get away with their devilish ways. Rain your wrath down upon them Lord.
The song “Changes” comes on by Tupac as I read this… This just hurts. I have a son and his skin is brown and I just want to know what can I do? What can we do to save our sons? to save ourselves?? Lord, help us, help US.
If the story is true that his hands were up in surrender…. It’s so maddening how they label us. A mob instead of concerned citizens. Just like Katrina, calling us refugees. It’s open season, we have to teach our people that.
Black men must ask to be covered in the blood every time they leave the house.
This brought straight tears to my eyes reading it. I am praying DAILY for the safety of our young boys & men. They are moving targets in this country every since zimmerman was able to walk free after he MURDERED Trayvon (RIP). How much more blood will spill before we blacks get TIRED & start clapping BACK at these goons with guns? Sadly, this is the only thing that will get their attention.
i’m so fired up!
Shooting cops wont get their attention, they’ll just continue to justify why they shoot the innocent ones. Holding them accountable & sentencing them to prison where they can get treated like the animals they are will. When we sue go after their pensions. We need to stop letting them get away with this.

agree to disagree. they’re continuing to do it bc they have no recourse. their higher ups aren’t taking them to task whatsoever. they’re not losing jobs, pensions, AND are getting PAID admin leave while incidents are ‘investigated’ & we forget about it…until it happens again. you’re right, taking away their money will get their attn. but who’s gonna MAKE them when they’re not even being found guilty of anything? i’m not hoping for violence. i’m not
HOWEVER, nothing else is working. these kumbaya’s & spirituals aint been getting it. i will continue to pray, but we need ACTION. i’m tired of writing RIP. i want our sons to have a chance at living just like theirs do. i’m down for whatever course of action gets the attn of AMERIKKKA that our men & boys are NOT for their sport. whether it be boycotting, marches, or clapping back. WE HAVE RIGHTS TOO! #power2theppl :fistbump:
We’re on the same page. Problem with shooting cops is 1..we go to jail & nothing is done but see this is why we shot these negroes & 2..it doesn’t stop cops from killing our sons. But going after the big heads, administration, the police chief, the mayor, change the laws, etc each & every time will get attention. Violence begets violence & they have badges so we will continue to lose. But I’m with you :fistbump: go shot that officer’s son daughter spouse brother mother, it’ll get their attention frfr.
i saw this morning that the peaceful protest turned to riots…. smh. this is disheartening
Good Morning…
Saw an update this morning…unfortunately it has turned to rioting! Folks are TIRED of the police killing UNARMED BLACK MEN!!! This is beginning to happen once a week…

I am not knocking what has happened, but when will “we” as a ppl learn that looting OUR OWN is NEVER the answer. They are going to turn around and need the same ppl they are looting from and then say “nobody will help them”. This is a tragedy on SO MANY levels. :crying1:
I just watched a video of a police slamming an old lady with a cane in a Wal-Mart parking lot. Granted the old lady DID have a knife, but DAMN, did yall have to slam her and bust her head to the white meat? It saddened me to see that old lady lying there in blood.
Its soo crazy here, these thugs out here destroying their own resources.
Just opportunist breaking in beauty supply stores stealing hair, burned down a gas station, stealing liquor then have the nerve to be making YouTube videos
Morning roses, aroth,mistaken,NAE,NANCY, V, afyah
This is sickening! I do not blame these people one bit for rioting, Enough is a damn Enough!!
they are tearing shyte up, not their homes and belongings.
they should get the balls to throw some molotov cocktails thru some officials windows and doors

I saw the rioting on the news this a.m. Reminded me of Spike Lee’s “Do the Right Thing”
Yes we can say that it’s crazy these people are rioting and looting, However emotions are high and they feel this is the only way to express it.
How much longer can they hold peaceful vigils and pray?
:wave: Feline
@NAN u cooked for your elders lately, how are they?
VDot & Smonae, I saw them breaking into beauty supply stores too. Like
this have to do w/ a young man dying?

Emotions are high and people with common sense are holding rallys and having conversations on how to correct this.
THese kids out here terrorizing the areas they live in need to be arrested, maced and whatever else is deserved for their actions.
No that Quicktrip is not theirs but it was a resource in thier neighborhood.
THey doing all of that and the officer who did it prolly dont live in that area, shyt ignant
Luvie, my old folks are doing well, thank you for asking.

One of my other sisters has been cooking lately (although my mama did call and ask me to pickup a pork shoulder for her so she could make some bbq
I saw them looting the sneaker store on the news. I thought of course they’ll cover that and not the actual vigil
Watched a car pull up, pop the trunk and the trunk get filled with clothes and Nike boxes.

Hey Boo!
@Smonae – I was talking to my homie
you’re right. Still doesn’t make sense 
loverfriendthat lives there. This nucca had a viewing party going on watching the riots with dranks and food giving minute by minute updates. I said something about tearing up their own communities instead of finding out the cop’s address and raising hell. He said many of them don’t give a d@Mn about their communities. They typically don’t own anything in the area, are renting, and therefore don’t give a damn about trash, let alone burning up the local stores. I was likeWe had riots like that back in 2001 behind police killing an unarmed black man. Ain’t chit really change tho
Put our azzes on curfew and as of last week just 
a Black man
Good Morning everybody
This story is just…I’m just glad I have daughters because little black boys just arent safe. Its like nothing has changed in the world almost.
I have some depressing news but I wanna share because I have to get it off my chest and my heart is very heavy today. So, as all the regulars on the blog know I have been struggling with Hypermesis my whole pregnancy. After getting to the point where I wasn’t able to get out of bed or eat anymore,we made the decision to terminate the pregnancy. I’m really sad right now because I feel like I failed and my body failed me but I know I I did the right thing. I could not care for myself or my other small children and even my doctors were worried about my health. I don’t expect anybody to understand my decision but for those who do please send up a prayer for me and my baby
they should get the balls to throw some molotov ****tails thru some officials windows and doors

our people attacking all the places they shop at. Hell when Im that way that QT was where I’d get my gas.. SHyt soo f*cked and its soo many stories floating around about what happened.
I just hope that family gets justice and this isnt swept under the rug
The media care about getting stores. They talk to Ray Ray and em instead of someone we’ll-spoken. They focus oh looting instead of the fact that the baby was left in the middle of the street for FOUR hours. FOUR. FOUR.
BLANCHE I’M PRAYING FOR YOU! NO JUDGEMENT HERE! You did what YOU had to do. Almighty bless you and your family during this difficult time!
Blanche Im SO SORRY to hear that, that made me sad. I hope you get pass your grief and find peace with your decision.

Such a sad situation. It should not be used as an opportunity for some to stock up on Malaysian body wave and latest Jordan’s. :smh:
Condolences, Blanche.
Sad that a young man had to lose his life. Mothers need to teach their black sons about the law and police, non-compliance will get you killed. On another note, I wonder what the murder rate is in Ferguson for black on black crime.

When I say *Stories* meaning what led up to that shooting.
The police claim that there was a gun struggle that led to the shooting, but it sounds like bs.
At the end of the day that young man shouldnt have been gunned down like that.
Im well aware of the facts.
Crickett this St. Louis the murder rate is high
You’re such a sweetheart Luvie
@Blanche, GOD bless you dear heart. You had a very difficult decision to make, and you did what was best overall for you and your family. I’m glad you’re no longer in pain/discomfort and no longer in harm’s way… no explanation needed though
Morning Nae & Wasting and all the Roses (you too Sandra!)
I will also say that the police in that area are known azzholes. There are soo many close municipalities in that area that just like to f*ck with young and old men of color. I just never thought it lead this this.
Thank you everybody this has been a terrible past couple of days but I know I’ll come out of the fog eventually
I’m just using this opportunity to go ahead and finish school and get some more things set up so when we do try again, which we plan to, we can be fully prepared emotionally and financially for whatever comes.
I’ll be checking in for my laughs today, I need em
thank gawd I keep a travel size deodorant in my desk drawer, I didn’t put any on this morning

I have a son & I’ve tried talking to him about this very thing. However his generation doesn’t view or see racism in the way I do so basically he don’t get it. I lived in LA County during the Rodney Kind verdict & the riots & he still doesn’t get it.

I wish you and your family the best. No judgement from me. I couldn’t imagine being in your position.
from ANON
A little over 24 hours ago in Ferguson, Missouri – USA the Ferguson Police Department shot an un-armed teen 6 times and killed him. His body was left to lie in a pool of blood in the sweltering heat for hours while the police militarized the area against protesters and attempted to concoct a reasonable story as to why they snatched this innocent students life for no reason. The St. Louis County Sheriff Department even sealed the roads leading to Ferguson in a vain attempt to prevent protesters from reaching the city. His name was Mike Brown, he was 17 – and he would have started college next week. Instead, his family is struggling to come up with funeral costs.
The entire global collective of Anonymous is outraged at this cold blooded murder of a young teen. Not a week goes by that some young person, usually of minority ethnicity – is slaughtered by murderous police in the USA. For this reason Anonymous will not be satisfied this time, as we have in the past – with simply obtaining justice for this young man and his family. Anonymous demands that the Congressional Representatives and Senators from Missouri introduce legislation entitled “Mike Brown’s Law” that will set strict national standards for police conduct in the USA. We further demand that this new law include specific language to grant the victims of police violence the same rights and prerogatives that are already enjoyed nationwide by the victims of other violent criminals. The Equal Protection clause of the US Constitution demands nothing less.
To the good people of Ferguson, take heart – and take your streets. You are not alone, we will support you in every way possible. Occupy every square inch of your city. Open your homes and help in any way you can the protesters who will come to your city from every part of Missouri and the USA. Businesses and householders that are near protest rallies, open your WiFi routers so that live streamers and other independent journalists can use the Internet connections. Feed each other, keep each other safe – and stay in the streets until we are totally victorious in all our demands.
Ferguson police, just executed my unarmed son
To the Ferguson Police Department and any other jurisdictions who are deployed to the protests: we are watching you very closely. If you abuse, harass – or harm in any way the protesters in Ferguson we will take every web based asset of your departments and governments off line. That is not a threat, it is a promise. If you attack the protesters, we will attack every server and computer you have. We will dox and release the personal information on every single member of the Ferguson Police Department, as well as any other jurisdiction that participates in the abuse. We will seize all your databases and E-Mail spools and dump them on the Internet. This is your only warning.
The time has come for more than simple justice for these atrocities. The time has come to draw a line in the sand and say “no more dead kids”, no more police killings and beatings. Anonymous is drawing a line in the sand, and that line runs right down the middle of Main Street Ferguson, Missouri. Police impunity ends with the barbaric death of Mike Brown.
We Are Anonymous
We Are Legion
We Will Not Forgive
We Will Not Forget
EXPECT JUSTICE
DEMAND CHANGE
Blanche sorry to hear that
It’s been past time for mothers and fathers to actually parent and protect their children by informing them of what’s waiting out here for them…Keep them off the streets because unfortunately, our “black” brothers mainly and sisters do not matter to mainstream white Amerikkka, and it doesn’t matter whether we exist or not in their reality. Our brothers are being exterminated. This is what happens when a community turn their heads for decades and say, “that’s not my problem” until it reaches our doorstep…We will we start caring again…

@Summerbaby, I too was in L.A. May 1992 during the riots. We were under Marshall law and the National Guard took over Baldwin Hills Mall. Blacks and Hispanics looted and burned down the areas they lived in. Most of business owners had insurance, it ended up being very beneficial for whites that owned the buildings to file huge claims. Black folks houses still smell like smoke. I too talk to my 23yo son, but rap has him brainwashed and stuck on stupid.
@FAY . . .
That group is dead serious too. It is about to be on.
