Saturday August 9th, a racist Ferguson police officer profiled and fatally shot a black
teenager, Michael Brown, as he walked to his grandmother?s residence with a friend. He was
18 years old. Multiple witnesses told KMOV that Brown was unarmed and had his hands up in
the air when he was cut down. ?The officer shot again and once my friend felt that shot,
he turned around and put his hands in the air,? said witness Dorian Johnson. ?He started
to get down and the officer still approached with his weapon drawn and fired several more
shots.? The family and the community are calling his death an execution. ---- About 200
residents from the city of Ferguson came together to protest the terror. Amongst them,
Brown?s mother, Lesley McSpadden, ?I know they killed my son, this was wrong and it was
cold-hearted?. She added that her son ?doesn?t kill, steal or rob. He doesn?t do any of
that.? Also present, Brown?s step father, Louis Head, ?Ferguson police just executed my
unarmed son!!!?. Desuirea Harris, Brown?s grandmother ?He didn?t live around here, he came
to visit me and they did that to him for no reason.? St. Louis County Prosecutor?s office
confirmed that Brown had no prior misdemeanors or felonies against him. He was a 2014
graduate of Normandy High School and was scheduled to begin classes at Vatterott College.
Wednesday August 13th, St. Louis and Ferguson police dressed in camouflage and equipped
with armored tanks and military rifles ? fired tear gas, rubber coated bullets, and flash
grenades at thousands of Black residents. Many were injured in the war-like environment as
police displayed a blatant disregard for civil rights, unlawfully arresting dozens of
people including members of the press.
Anti-State STL has established a new bail and legal fund to support the people who have
been arrested during these anti-police demonstrations. Over 50 have been arrested. (Donate

Walls of tear gas, thick, barricading access from one side of town to another. Police
marched down streets ordering protesters to leave as they fired tear gas, hitting vehicles
as people inside tried to escape. While also firing tear gas into homes and backyards.
Rubber bullets and a high-pitched sirens were used in an attempt to neutralize protesters.
?The guardian observed one individual with the 'hands up, don?t shoot' refrain that has
come to define the protesters shot several times with rubber bullets by officers, before
he fell to the ground. When he did, several officers pounced on him, according to the
Guardian?.
It?s clear that this fascist institution is trying to suppress this resistance, while
still protecting their own. Officials stayed silent until today, releasing the identity of
the murderous cop that killed Michael Brown in cold-blood. Officer Darren Wilson.
To make matters more upsetting, this cop is being supported by the KKK. Yesterday, August
14th, The South Carolina-based New Empire Knights of the Ku Klux Klan says its Missouri
chapter is raising a reward fund for the officer who shot the African-American teen.
Stating that ?We are setting up a reward/fund for the police officer who shot this thug,?
the Klan group said in an email. ?He is a hero! We need more white cops who are anti-Zog
and willing to put Jewish controlled black thugs in their place?.
How many more must die?
Once again, an unarmed black teenager has been killed at the hands of racist police.
Ferguson is now facing excruciating militarization and oppression, stemming from one
incident of everyday police terror. This everyday terror defines the visible war on our
communities, the fear that someone will be murdered at any moment. The same police terror
took the lives of eleven people in 2012, and twelve people in 2013, Memphis Tennessee. All
were unarmed, disabled, or fleeing. Additionally, we witnessed the massive string of 26
killings in Albuquerque since 2010, six unarmed murders in Denver since 2009, and
countless others. Where does it end? In Ferguson and many other militarized zones all over
the world, continued state violence demonstrates that we only have each other. The state
only offers more violence, more oppression, more repression. Institutional racism is the
law that this extreme modern policing is enforcing, and always has. Our fight against
racist police terror is happening on our streets everyday, and only we can end this war
waged against us.
For a World Without Police, In Solidarity With Ferguson.
