The shooting of Michael Brown occurred on August 9, 2014, in Ferguson, Missouri, a northern suburb of St. Louis. Brown, an 18-year-old black man, was fatally shot by Darren Wilson, 28, a white Ferguson police officer, after Brown reportedly robbed a convenience store. An altercation ensued with Brown and Wilson struggling through the window of the police vehicle for control of Wilson's gun until it was fired. Brown and Johnson then fled, with Wilson in pursuit of Brown. In the entire altercation, Wilson fired a total of twelve bullets;the last was probably the fatal shot. #RIPMIKEBROWN

This was the last time I was on a mission with the homie. I was reading his speech off his phone. Typical Bassem behavior— making me read something he wrote before he spoke publicly. So much more I want to say but rest in peace to my Palestinian Northside rolling sixty Revolutionary homeboy. This is my first August 9th away from the crib. I didn’t pack my sh*t and leave I stayed the course. No matter where I go or end up living I’m always invested in the crib. We the last ones left. My loved ones dead and jailed behind this. #Ferguson #RIPMikeBrown when it’s sincere you don’t get a trophy. Rest In Peace bro. Love you always. He fight harder for my people than certain folks with the same skin color as me. So I go equally as hard for his. From the sea to the river... #FreePalestine https://www.instagram.com/p/B09oYCHheV5/?igshid=1pbs2cj26m8jz

“Stay Afloat” The hood is filled with hate and things trying to temp you and tear you down. There are a few people just trying to get out by doing the right thing. All you can do is grind, do right by people and do what you say your going to do. The scary part is even if you do it the right way some hater can come along and take everything away from you at any time. Too many people in our culture are dying for nothing. Something has to change. Live life, laugh more, and love hard #ripnipseyhussle #riptreyvonmartin #ripmikebrown #riplilsnupe #ripclifforddixon https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvz2TrqAWsx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xn891nlcn9sd

This was incredibly painful for me. . Parents lost their baby boy here. . A man saw his best friend murdered here. . Neighbors saw a body lay in the street in the hot afternoon sun for hours and hours, the ultimate sign of disrespect. . As I explained to my children, Mike Brown made some bad choices. But maybe that day he was just frustrated and had had enough. Tired of feeling disrespected and treated as less than and living in a place where there is in place systemic injustice that dictates a bleak future. . I felt awkward, a pasty white woman in a @dougbaldwin_jr @seahawks jersey, but I knelt down & and touched the plaque, praying to a god I’m not sure exists, asking for true equality. For a black young man making bad choices on a bad day to have the same consequences as if my white son in a decade makes bad choices on a bad day. . #blacklivesmatter doesn’t mean that white lives don’t. It means that black lives ALSO matter. An angry black man is not an imminent animalistic threat. He is a human who deserves the right to face a jury of his peers, to have a chance at LIFE. . RIP, Mike Brown, & may your tragic & unjust death lead to changing the system for a better life for all those who share your African American heritage. 💙💔 . . . . . #mikebrown #ripmikebrown #fergusonmo #blackmenarebeautiful #blackmenarehuman #blackisbeautiful #honorblacklives #endsystemicracism #endwhitesupremacy #whiteallies #whiteprivilege (at Ferguson, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoFkHCFHMJl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5xz2cm4my4se
