I am am being educated nightly watching the events in Ferguson.
Watching what is going on in Ferguson is teaching me that I was not aware of the lives of the people who live there.
Last night it looked to me like the cops out numbered the protesters. They surely out gunned them.
I think I am beginning to understand the frustration. The attempts to blame the victims all the time rather than listen too them is striking.
I know if I faced what they face, the low median income, the joblessness, the lack of representation, the police harassment, the lack of hope or a vision for a better future I would feel the same.
Michael Brown's killing gives us all a chance to learn what it is like to be a resident there and to work to effect change or we can go on about our lives and blame the victims and after this story is past history just forget the people there.
