PLEASE LISTEN: To understand the sheer terror of what Ferguson residents have been living through

[kpete]

Elon James White, creator and host of This Week in Blackness has been in Ferguson, Missouri to cover the ongoing protests.

Last night he was live streaming as the This Week in Blackness team became trapped in a residential neighborhood where police were indiscriminately firing tear gas. To understand the sheer terror of what Ferguson residents have been living through, night after night, I encourage you to listen to the entire broadcast.

Doesn't even look they're aiming it at protesters … they're just gassing neighborhoods ... It was like they were trying to exterminate roaches ... If they see a human being, they throw a gas canister.

We can't let the truth be ignored. You can't gas people like their pestilence. This has to stop.

I am still shaking - they are genuinely TERRIFIED!!!

1. So awful.

The man shot with the rubber bullet so worried about the people in the car getting gassed while he opened the door to get out - that almost had me bawling. What a horrible thing to go through.

3. Yw, kpete.

Just anger and sadness that people are being indiscriminately harmed and terrorized like that ... it's crazy.

4. Speechless

It sounds like a war zone. This is why measured words and careful steps might not be the best course. This situation needs triage, STAT! Stop the terror. Stop the police who are terrorizing citizens in their home and in their communities!

Thank you for sharing this. I dare anyone to listen and not scream that people need HELP NOW!

6. I thought the

hiwaypaddyrollers were in charge and a deescalation of armed and stupid force against the citizens was underway. What did I miss?

7. And they have warned people not to protest tonight...

Because criminals are coming in from outside and it could get very nasty. That is what they are saying in so many words. It will not be safe to be protesting tonight.

8. Just a matter of time until Putin sends military aid to the folks in Ferguson.

Isn't that what we always do for those oppressed by tyrants around the globe?

9. Listened…. I'm gonna take a long walk now...

This is America?
