Pretty Terrible

Pop Culture Criticism by Natalie Luhrs

August 14, 2014

Ferguson Links: 08/14/14

It seemed important that these links get their own post.  I’ve been reading a lot.  The #Ferguson and #NMOS14 tags on Twitter are also a good resource, but I have noticed some trolling of both so be careful and disengage if you have to.  There’s also a #NMOS14 page on Facebook. List of all #NMOS14 vigils.

  • Things To Stop Being Distracted By When A Black Person Gets Murdered By Police
  • Why #IfTheyGunnedMeDown Teaches A Great Lesson on Black Stereotypes
  • Silence is Not an Option
  • Eyewitness to Michael Brown shooting recounts his friend’s death
  • This Is Why We’re Mad About the Shooting of Mike Brown
  • America Is Not For Black People
  • For the sake of Michael Brown This is an editorial from the black paper in St. Louis. It clearly and concisely lays out the structural deficits and racism that have lead to this moment.
  • Michael Brown’s School
  • Michael Brown and Our Obsession With Respectable Black Victims
  • Racial History Behind the Ferguson Protests
  • #Ferguson Police Are At Your Door
  • Two Americas: Ferguson, Missouri Versus the Bundy Ranch, Nevada
  • Police Militarization In Ferguson
  • What I Saw in Ferguson
  • Anonymity in Missouri Police Shooting Fuels Anger
  • Outrage in Ferguson after the shooting of Michael Brown
  • In Ferguson, Washington Post reporter Wesley Lowery gives account of his arrest
  • Antonio French arrested in Ferguson: St. Louis alderman taken in.
  • Ferguson Protests Met With Heavy Police Response, 2 Reporters And Alderman Arrested
  • Nightmare in Ferguson: Cops become a brutal occupying force
  • Conservatives, libertarians and liberals should all worry about the militarization of police Yes, I am linking to a thing John Stossel wrote on Fox News’s website. No one can be wrong all the time. And the Stossel-stache is kind of compelling.
  • Rand Paul: We Must Demilitarize the Police I am starting to feel like I am trapped in bizarro world? Then again, I’ve felt like that for most of the last 13 years.
  • My Fellow Veterans: The #Ferguson Police Action Disrespects Every Vet’s Sacrifice
  • Tear gas is a chemical weapon banned in war. But Ferguson police shoot it at protesters
  • Turning Policemen Into Soldiers, the Culmination of a Long Trend
  • Militarized Police Response to Michael Brown Protests Is 9/11 Legacy
  • Is this how a dystopia starts? Pretty sure we’re already in the middle of one.
  • Michael Brown shooting: civil rights groups may sue to obtain officer’s name
  • Ferguson police: Officer doxed by Anonymous isn’t the one who shot Mike Brown
  • A Few Horrifying Pictures From Ferguson Last Night
  • What Happens to #Ferguson Affects Ferguson: Net Neutrality, Algorithmic Filtering and Ferguson
  • Talks in Progress on Relieving St. Louis County Police of Command in Ferguson Operations
  • Reports: Gov. Nixon to remove St. Louis County police from Ferguson
  • How People In Ferguson See The Police in Ferguson
  • Video of Ferguson police gassing news crew and dismantling their equipment
  • Bail and Legal Fund for Those Arrested During Ferguson Anti-Police Demonstrations I haven’t vetted this, so donate with care.
  • Ferguson Mayor Defends Police: ‘I Can’t Second-Guess These Officers’
  • Transcript of Obama’s statement Well, that’s a thing. I guess.
