1964 or 2014 and Ferguson

The last few days have been rough.
I have be saddled with a summer cold. For days I have watched and read about the unrest in Ferguson.
This must be how our parents felt.
Watching the police issue martial law over something they did. Killing an unarmed teenager and arresting the media. 
I want to know why did it take days for the governor to step in?
Why did it take days for the President to step it?
It was like we were living in a war zone.
No respect was given to the media
Which makes we wonder what the are hiding?
We have a right to engage in civil disobedience and martial law says otherwise.
We have to continue to speak up and speak out.
Our communities are becoming powder kegs we got to stop it.
These issues are not like a summer cold  &they cannot be ignored.  Our nation is sick . Sick with violence & disrespect. Sick with apathy and despondency.

What are we going to do? We have to start with our sphere of influence.  Speak to our children.  Work with our children.  Speak to our police. Teach them to defuse instead of inflame situations.  No blame just change.
One person at a time
