One year later, and the brutal killing of Michael Brown is still very raw and intense. Police officer Darren Wilson still roams the earth, and is in fact giving interviews and magazine covers. this is your America folks.

The BLACK body count is adding up with similar killings by so-called law enforcement officers. WHEN WILL IT END?

    1 year ago today, I learned of #MichaelBrown’s death after reading this tweet. Pain, tear gas, snipers, dogs. I was shook!
