Shouldn't there be protest marches for Bill Cosby's over 50 rapes. That's a lot of criminal acts by just 1 person. Should Police be kissing and smiling at criminals like Michael Brown who committed multiple crimes in just a couple of hours?

Mountain View HS students marched from their high school as well.

Pick a date for your Cosby protest and start organizing. What action are you hoping to create from your march?

Well, this news is a breath of fresh air. I've been puzzling if social consciousness was alive and well in MV esp among the young. I'd have been there with them if I had known of the march... whoops except I was in a physical therapy treatment at 4:30 for my knees which would not have liked being made to march. Oh Well.

I to feel that candor demands that I admit the racist factors rampant in these (every 28 hours a person of color dies from police violence) events which can no longer be denied. Imagine the white community's reactions if those stats operated vav our children. BTW most crimes are committed by white folks in keeping with our majority racial stats but prison penalties do not match those stats. Go figure?

I refuse to let anyone try and put Eric Garner in the same light as Michael Brown.
Here is a video of Michael Brown living the "Black lives matter" mantra.

Garner is one to hang your protest hat on, not Brown, you'll do the cause a disservice by trying to claim Brown was just a victim. That forensic evidence cuts through a lot of the misinformation brought forth initially. Sadly, people make up their minds then never change them, even when evidence proves them to be incorrect.
