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. #Ferguson
