Hands Up - Don't Shoot

Contrary to the refrain from the tragic Ferguson, Mo., shooting of Michael Brown, we know that keeping your hands up does not mean you will not be shot.

THE FERGUSON RIOTS, ETC.

I guess everyone knows by now that I am very disappointed with President Obama for his lack of effort to be a voice for the human rights of African Americans, as he has been for Israelis and Gay Rights advocates.  In truth Blacks have been persecuted in this country under his watch, and it has taken – not the deaths of Black men at the hands of White police officers and the recent barbaric beating of a Black woman, but rather it has taken (after six years)
