http://www.democracynow.org - As we continue to discuss the developments since the fatal shooting of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown by a white police officer, we turn to john a. powell, professor of law, African-American studies and ethnic studies at the University of California, Berkeley. He is the director of the Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society. "The black community tends be overpoliced and underprotected," powell says. "That's a very serious problem."

CNN FAKE NEWS: Live From Ferguson!!

Staring Boule's own, CNN's Don Lemon.

Once again, CNN is exposed as White House/Zionist/Illuminati shills, pawns, puppets, and propagandists. Don Lemon, CNN, & the Federal Government as well as the police apparatus in Missouri are working together to antagonize the black citizens in Ferguson and America to riot, using racial overtones as well as subliminal programming, and of course, COMPLETELY FAKING IT!!

Situation in US city of Ferguson tense as protesters refuse to leave str...

The chaotic situation in Ferguson, Missouri remains far from over. US police and National Guard troops are confronting protesters angered by the police killing of an unarmed black teen. They're firing tear gas and stun grenades to hold back the crowd. Scuffles broke out after National Guard troops backed by armored vehicles formed lines in front of the protesters. Several people have been arrested. Streets leading to the town’s main square are being blocked by armored trucks. The protesters are demanding justice for 18-year-old Michael Brown who was shot dead by a white police officer identified as Darren Wilson. They're also outraged by the heavy-handed response by police who have fired rubber bullets at protesters in the past few days. Meanwhile, large demonstrations are taking place in solidarity with the Ferguson protesters in New York City and Atlanta, Georgia.

http://www.democracynow.org - In Missouri, Ferguson has seen another night of heavy unrest in the ongoing uproar over the fatal police shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown. At least 31 people, including two journalists, were arrested as street clashes erupted between groups of demonstrators and riot police. Police are claiming they came under "heavy gunfire," and that unknown suspects shot two people over the course of the night. The protests came hours after attorneys for the family of Brown held a press conference to discuss the findings of a private autopsy that revealed Brown had been shot six times. The officer who shot Brown, Darren Wilson, remains in hiding and on paid leave. We go to the streets of Ferguson to speak with Rev. Osagyefo Sekou, a pastor from the First Baptist Church in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, who was dispatched to Missouri by the Fellowship of Reconciliation. "It is a tragedy that as a clergyperson I need a tear gas mask more than I need a collar to be able to do the work that I feel called to do," Sekou says.

http://www.democracynow.org - That upheaval in Ferguson, Missouri, has called to mind the racial divisions that split open in the 1960s with a series of uprisings in cities across the country. In 1967, President Lyndon Johnson established what became known as the Kerner Commission to investigate the causes of the unrest. In February 1968, the commission famously concluded: "Our nation is moving toward two societies -- one black, one white -- separate and unequal." Just a month later, the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. sparked uprisings in more than 100 cities across the United States, including Kansas City, Missouri, where the National Guard was deployed and at least five people were killed. We speak with Jamala Rogers, who was born in Kansas City, Missouri, and witnessed the 1968 uprisings. She recently did a commentary for St. Louis Public Radio titled, "Kerner Commission Warning Comes True -- Two Societies, Separate and Unequal." Rogers is a founder and past chair of the Organization for Black Struggle in St. Louis, Missouri. She joins us from the streets in Ferguson.

http://www.democracynow.org - As protests continue in Ferguson, activists are traveling to Missouri to join the movement in solidarity. We speak with one activist who has just arrived to Ferguson from Florida, Phillip Agnew, the executive director of Dream Defenders, a network of youth of color and their allies who engage in nonviolent civil disobedience and civic engagement to bring about social change. "I came here to be part of resistance," Agnew says. "We have not seen a reaction of nonviolent civil disobedience [to] officers of the state like this in my lifetime." Agnew helped organize protests to the 2012 shooting of unarmed, African-American teenager Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida.

Is Ferguson police captain Ron Johnson a ploy to manipulate the minds of...

The protests in Ferguson Missouri over the police shooting of Michael Brown don't show any signs of slowing up anytime soon. In the midst of it all, we've now gotten to the point where the protests have become some kind of show, with the media seeming to revel in telling their viewers or readers that they were tear gassed or hit by rubber bullets. 

We saw a similar situation during the protests on behalf of Trayvon Martin and the Jena Six, where it almost seemed fashionable to march in the streets. The problem is that in none of these situations was there any kind of long-term, meaningful policy change that resulted from this mass of community action. 

Will this be the same in Ferguson, Missouri? 

In this conversation, I speak with Criminologist Dr. Chenelle Jones from Ohio Dominican University, who says that, according to her research, nothing substantive came out of the massive protets on behalf of Trayvon Martin. 

Dr. Jones also talks about the presence of police captain Ron Johnson, a black man who's been "put in charge" of the situation in Ferguson. She openly asks whether he is truly part of meaningful change, or is one who is there to put a black face on the tear gas and rubber bullets being fired onto the protesters in the city. 

The interview is interesting, and Dr. Jones has some great insights. While she advocates for justice for Michael Brown, she gives us a great deal to think about.
