follow her and support her. Hopefully without being nasty, that just feels like being in the middle of a fight. Just be supportive of her, I have a feeling that will give her the stregth to fight any asshats that show up.

I can't forget what her father said before he died "It ends today" I hope his words are prophetic and the institutionalized racism ends today (not literally), in our lifetime. That we see an end to the broken window policies that are really just an excuse to break black communities even further and to get black people into the prison industrial complex.

"fighting for justice for my dad!
#ThisStopsToday
RIP Dad!"

She seems pretty strong. She's also with one of the main leaders from Ferguson. I'm sure she is aware of what the trolls will do.

I just hope we can actually support her and not turn her into a bone to fight over rather than a person to rally with and fight with.

damn.

I love the photos of Eric with his family.

This totally did not need to happen. Screw that racist little prick
who's arm just "found it's way around Garner's neck".

I hope the Feds go after him with all they have.
