Twelve years ago today, 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot and killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. Today, we remember his life and honor his memory. Say his name: Michael Brown! Rest in Power.

Answer yes or no and why? Should parents who give their kid a gun that’s then used in a school shooting should to go to prison for life?

Before the investigations were complete, before all the evidence was in, before due process had run its course, white America somehow took the sides of… The white cop who murdered George Floyd. The white cop who murdered Botham Jean. The white cop who murdered Atatiana Jefferson. The white cops who killed Breonna Taylor. The white man who killed Jordan Neely. The white men who murdered Ahmaud Arbery. The white cop who murdered Laquan McDonald. Susan Smith, who murdered her own children and blamed it on a Black man. Charles Stuart, who murdered his wife and blamed it on a Black man. The white friends of Nolan Wells. Again and again, whiteness gets the presumption of innocence, the benefit of the doubt, the sympathetic explanation, and the rush to defend. But Black people asking questions, demanding answers, and refusing to accept a convenient narrative before the facts are known, are…“MAKING EVERYTHING ABOUT RACE.” The caucasity is breathtaking. You don’t get to make race matter when defending whiteness and then demand that Black people pretend race doesn’t exist when we demand accountability. #saytheirnames #blm #blacklivesmatter #georgefloyd #bothamjean #atatianajefferson #breonnataylor #jordanneely #ahmaudarbery #laquanmcdonald #nolanwells

The white teen, who killed 10 Black people, says he wants his charges dropped. Should that happen and why? #paytongendron #topsfriendlymarket #buffalonewyork #massshooter #gunviolence

Yesterday evening, we were invited and attended the faces of change: Gala in support of the Royal Canadian Legion branch 58 by Unity One in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. It was a nice time and someone told us she saw us in Toronto and bought 2 t-shirts about a year ago. #gala #royalcanadianlegion58 #unityone #hamilton #ontario

Is this one of numerous examples of a corrupt system against Black people, especially when they retaliate or defend themselves from a threat or not? Jamarian Byrd and Travis Roberts were hanging out in their Baker County neighborhood when a group of white males rolled up with a shotgun and a rifle. Devin Powers Jr. allegedly fired into the crowd where kids were playing outside, so Byrd and Roberts grabbed their own weapons and shot back. Powers died, and now the two Black men are facing first degree premeditated m*rder charges while a judge shut down their Stand Your Ground defense. The judge said they had every right to fire back until Powers started retreating, but he was still holding his shotgun when he got hit. #gunviolence #racism #usa #bakercounty #nojusticenopeace

During a college campus tour where Charlie Kirk was discussing statistics related to gang violence, an outdoor debate was violently interrupted when a white male shooter targeted and killed him. This incident has been cited by commentators to argue that discussions surrounding racial violence often overlook historical and statistical data regarding violence perpetrated by white individuals globally. #CharlieKirk #gangviolence #gunviolence #assassination

There is no data that supports that we do but it keeps happening and they say we do it tp ourselves. It's the same story they say about missing and murdered indigenous people.

There are many more untold stories of this nature. On April 4, 2015, 50-year-old Walter Scott was driving through North Charleston, South Carolina, when Officer Michael Slager pulled him over because of a malfunctioning brake light. The beginning was captured on Slager’s dash camera. It looked like an ordinary traffic stop. Then Scott ran. Slager chased him roughly 200 yards into a grassy area and tried to stop him with his Taser. And somewhere nearby, 23-year-old Feidin Santana was simply walking to work at a barbershop. Santana noticed the chase. Then he heard the distinctive clicking of a Taser and Scott yelling. He ended the phone call he was on and began following them. What Santana witnessed disturbed him enough that he pulled out his cellphone and started recording. A chain-link fence separated Santana from much of what was happening. But his camera had a clear enough view. And Officer Slager apparently had no idea he was being recorded. Santana said that when he saw them, Slager appeared to have control of Scott. According to Santana, Scott wasn’t attacking the officer. He was trying to escape the Taser. Santana later said he never saw Scott take control of the weapon and use it against Slager. Eventually, Scott managed to get up. Then he ran. That’s when Santana’s camera captured the moment that would define this case. Slager stopped pursuing him. He drew his handgun. And fired. Eight times. Scott was nearly 15 feet away when the shooting began. By the eighth shot, he was nearly 40 feet away. He never turned around. Five bullets struck him, all entering from behind. Walter Scott collapsed. He was unarmed. But Santana didn’t stop recording. And that decision became incredibly important. Seconds after firing, Slager radioed that shots had been fired and claimed Scott had taken his Taser. But Santana’s camera was still running. The footage showed Slager approaching Scott and handcuffing him. Then Slager walked back toward the location of the earlier struggle. His Taser was lying on the ground. He picked it up, then returned toward Scott and dropped the Taser beside his body, walked away, then returned to retrieve it again. Federal prosecutors would later describe Slager’s actions as an attempt to tamper with the crime scene by moving the Taser next to Scott. And Slager’s account was already taking shape. He claimed Scott had gotten control of his Taser and that Scott was coming toward him when he fired. But the federal court would ultimately find that Scott never had control of the Taser, never attacked Slager and was running away when he was shot. And Slager still didn’t know that everything that happened was caught on camera by Santana. Santana was terrified. He understood what he had recorded, but handing a video implicating a police officer directly to police frightened him. He actually considered deleting the footage and leaving Charleston altogether. He briefly went to a police station but left after being asked to wait. Then he began hearing the official account of what had happened. Scott had supposedly taken the officer’s Taser. Slager had supposedly feared for his life. Santana knew that wasn’t what he had witnessed. So the following day, he returned to the area and eventually made contact with Walter Scott’s family. At a vigil, Santana approached Scott’s brother, Anthony. He told him he had something to show him. Then he played the video. Walter’s family watched the final moments of his life on a stranger’s cellphone. Santana later remembered how emotional they became. The family gave the footage to their attorney, and it was also provided to state investigators. On Tuesday night, three days after the shooting, the recording was released to The Post and Courier and The New York Times. And suddenly, millions of people could see what happened. This is one of the most important details of the entire case. See the complete story on our Facebook page.

This afternoon, into the evening, the founder attended the annual Take Back the Night event in Hamilton. Unfortunately it was not attended as strongly as it would call for. But nevertheless, there were probably a couple of hundreds people in attendance. Here are some images. #takebackthenight #femaleviolence #Hamilton #Ontario

Accurate or another cover-up and why? #nolanwells

Heartbreaking. A Black woman tried to get help from the system that’s supposed to protect us from danger for a domestic violence restraining order against her partner and recieved the same physical abuse she was trying to prevent. The system truly fails Black people. #domesticviolence #restrainingorder #violence
