RIP, Michael Brown.
Those of us left behind mourn your passing today, and mourn as well what the circumstances of that passing shows about our society.
Will the person who caused your early death be indicted?
Your community rose up in reaction and the police response has been outrageous.
Will we be able to roll back the militarization of our police across this country?
Or will our society as a whole let this all pass, and instead be indicted by history?
RIP, Michael Brown.
