"The revolution will not be televised"

[TomtheTinker]

A day of protests and vigils Sunday over the death of Michael Brown, a black teenager who was killed (allegedly shot 8 times) following an altercation with a Ferguson police officer, turned violent overnight with reports of riots and looting... and the violence is continuing today. As the following images suggest, there was a lot more bubbling under the surface of middle America than concern about one young man's death as Ferguson's full SWAT team is in force. As one young protester screamed, "the revolution will not be televised."

The line comes from a Gill Scott Heron song- for those not familiar with it. Saw him perform in the 1980's.

The looting just gives the cops and store owners a good reason to shoot them. That's just fuckin stupid.

To be fair the way that this society is set up it breeds both the oppressive/abusive officers and an ignorant class of people who don't have the ability to express their anger in any other way. I can't help but think this is by design that these sorts of things happen.
