"Everybody is a part of the world, and everybody should be treated equally," said Aniyah Ayres, the 8-year-old force behind the Aniyah's Mission organization that helped organize the demonstration.

Whatever it was that I learned in Kindergarten, I know it wasn’t enough.

I think I’d rather see a protest that says: “Don’t Break the Law and Everything will be Fine.”

Or maybe “Learn to act white and things’ll be all right!”

"Everybody is a part of the world, and everybody should be treated equally,"

I'd be happy to explain to them that if a 300lb Sumo wrestler with as few brain cells as St. Swisher acted the same way towards a cop. he'd get the same treatment.

“Where’s family protective services when they are needed...”

Out participating in their own form of a “die-in”, most likely.

There are institutions in this country that are rotten to the core, and most of them are NOT local criminal justice grand juries.

The vast majority of unarmed young black men that are dying in this country are dying by the hand of other young black men who ARE armed, without benefit of weapons training or any legal title to the weapon which they are bearing.

Very few young black men, unarmed or otherwise, die at the hands of the police, and that usually because they are resisting detainment when told to submit to arrest.

“All black lives are valuable.... nasty, racist, white policmen should stop killing us” said little Shaniqua Jones as she dodged bullets from nearby gangbangers busy having a shootout one block away. Fortunately, a few slugs from a couple of black thugs holding up a nearby convenience store also missed little Shaniqua.

"lying down at the intersection of City Avenue and Monument Road"

That makes them (and possibly their parents) terrorists and criminals. Unless these young terrorists change their ways, they are likely to end up like Michael Brown when their lawlessness is stopped with some police bullet.

“Armed” isn’t the point. If your are in imminent fear for your life or that of a loved one, black, white, yellow or red, that perp is going down hard.

lying down at the intersection

Child endangerment - where are the police? Where is the parent (as in no daddy)?

Does that mean that it is OK to kill armed black men?
