Social media is in a Ferguson whirlwind

3 UrbanProWeekly • NOVEMBER 27- 31, 2014

by Vincent Hobbs Social media was abuzz with news of the Ferguson’s grand jury decision to not indict Officer Darren Wilson in the death of unarmed teenager Michael Brown. Many posts and tweets expressed dismay and disappointment at the decision -— and also at the resulting violence that broke out in Ferguson following the announcement.

CSRA residents also weighed in with strong opinions on the case: “My 9-year-old is wondering whether police are now officially allowed to shoot unarmed teenagers.” ­ — Catherine Zickgraf, poet “My heart and prayers go out to the Brown Family and the people of Ferguson. Though hopeful that the grand jury would come back with an indictment, I am not surprised with the outcome. The cover-up started August 9th, 2014. They say that “justice is blind” — I disagree. Justice should be not only blind, but color-blind.

There are so many questions that come to mind about the announcement – and I also question the time of day they decided to share the decision.

The “powers that be” have just set up the people of Ferguson and they don’t even realize it. They chose to share the decision at night knowing that mayhem would follow.” — Angel Fielding, self-employed “I’m just speechless, really. I’m afraid of what this decision is teaching our children. Culturally, it seems to indicate that we value some lives more than others.” —Melanie Avita Rivera, instructor “My issue is with the way in which Mike Brown was killed. I understand opening fire in self-defense, but I don’t understand the need for six shots to subdue a teenager, nor do I understand why a person with intention to make an arrest would shoot at the head region. Either there was malicious intent in this shooting,

Demonstrators protest the shooting death of Michael Brown on November 23, 2014 in St. Louis, Missouri.

Joshua Lott / Getty Images or this officer is poorly trained at his profession. Neither explanation is out of the question.” — Earl Grey Summers, music artist/author “Justice was definitely not served.

I’m stunned but not surprised. I’m quite disappointed in the judicial system. There was surely enough

evidence to indict. It would be easy to understand more people losing faith. It’s important now for us to strategically and deliberately unite as one and demand changes.” — Travis “Brotha Trav” Wright, poet “No indictment is just another miscarriage of justice which seems to

be more common these days. But what disgusts me most is the reaction and mayhem of people rioting and destroying their own community! In no way are these actions alleviating the choice not to indict the officer.”

— Ashley Black, GRU Augusta student Continued on page 5

Ferguson grand jury fails to indict officer

by Erin McClam A grand jury chose Monday not to indict Darren Wilson, the white police officer who shot and killed Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, on a street in Ferguson, Missouri, in August. Violence, looting, fires and gunshots erupted as anger broke out immediately.

At Ferguson police headquarters, protesters pelted officers with bottles, officers reported shots fired, and a team in riot gear ordered a crowd of several hundred people to disperse.

Nearby, St. Louis County police deployed tactical units and fired tear gas and smoke to break up unruly crowds.

A police car was set on fire, and an MSNBC reporter saw fire and looting in a cellphone store and a window that

had been smashed at a McDonald’s.

A pizzeria and a storage facility were engulfed in flames, and police and protesters stared each other down on an interstate.

Scattered volleys of what reporters described as gunfire could be heard more than two hours after the announcement. St. Louis police reported “heavy automatic gunfire” late into the night.

The protests were so volatile that arriving airplanes were diverted from the airport in St. Louis, and the Federal Aviation Administration ordered planes out of the airspace over Ferguson.

President Barack Obama, speaking late at night from the White House even as clashes were erupting in Ferguson, called on both sides to

exercise restraint.

“We are a nation built on the rule of law, so we have to accept this decision was the grand jury’s to make,” Obama said.

Referencing the racial strains exposed by the turmoil in Ferguson, the president said: “In too many parts of this country, a deep distrust exists between law enforcement and communities of color.” But he added: “There’s never an excuse for violence.”

People took to the streets across the country. More than 1,000 marched in Manhattan, and in Oakland, California, hundreds chanted, “No justice! No peace!” A crowd of about 300 gathered at the White House. Protests also sprang up in Philadelphia and Continued on page 5

Phaedra Parks challenges women to succeed

by Michéle A. Douglass Special to Urban Pro Weekly “According to Webster, empowerment means to enable someone to do something with authority,” said Housewives of Atlanta’s Phaedra Parks, who addressed nearly 100 business women as the keynote luncheon speaker for the Third Annual Women’s Empowerment Conference presented by A. B. Beverage of Augusta and CSR A Business League.

Ms. Parks, who is not only an actress, but also an entertainment attorney, producer, author and philanthropist, encouraged the group of minority entrepreneurs to not only be prepared, competent and empowered individually, but to also help one another. “Far too many times, we don’t uplift each other; we do more bashing than building,” said Parks. “It is very important for women to be validated, not only by their colleagues, but by other women.”

Parks, who is admittedly a strong woman, gave credit to her parents who are both Church of God in Christ (COGIC) pastors, for raising her with “old values”, which she said are still true values. “There is something to be said for respecting your elders. There is something to be said for honoring your father and

Failure to indict from page 3 Chicago.

Bob McCulloch, the St. Louis County prosecutor, described the death of Brown as a tragedy, but he said that the grand jury had found no probable cause for any of the charges it considered against Wilson, which included first-degree murder and the lesser charge of manslaughter.

The officer, 28, testified to the grand jury that he was sitting in his patrol car on Aug. 9 when Brown approached and punched him, McCulloch said. In the encounter that followed, Wilson fired 12 shots — two inside the car and 10 on the street, the prosecutor said.

Some witnesses had said publicly that Brown, 18, was shot and killed with his hands up. But the prosecutor said that some witnesses had changed their statements, or later admitted that they had not seen anything directly.

McCulloch said that the grand jury

investigation found that some witness statements were “completely refuted by the physical evidence.” He said that the biggest challenge to the investigation was rumors on social media and “the 24-hour news cycle and its appetite for something, anything, to talk about.”

Speaking for almost an hour, the prosecutor said that he knew some people would be disappointed, but he said decisions in the justice system could not be based on “public outcry or for political expediency.”

The Brown family said in a statement: “We are profoundly disappointed that the killer of our child will not face the consequence of his actions.”

The family repeated its calls that protesters remain peaceful.

The NAACP expressed outrage and said on Twitter that “police brutality and militarization” must end.

Social media response from page 3 “It’s a difficult time to gather my thoughts...I feel there is so much power in having that badge, it’s like a shield, and I wish there was more discrimination regarding who gets to carry one. It shouldn’t be so easy for anyone to gun someone else down, especially an unarmed person. But it’s too complicated — I don’t know how to make my

thoughts clear right now.” — Kelly Fey-Anderson, Family Y fitness instructor “I trust that the jury had the evidence and heard things we have no access to. What I hate the most is how the citizens feel they have to riot and tear up their own city to make a point. This is senseless.” — Jimi Mae Brooker, AAFES retiree

CONGRATULATIONS! We’d like to congratulate the Midget tackle football champion of the Cliff Sanders, Sr. Memorial Bowl, the West Fraser RiverHawks who knocked off the Buffalo Soldiers Raiders to claim the title on Nov. 20 at ARC.

Wilson’s lawyers said in a statement that he had followed his training and the law.

“Law enforcement personnel must frequently make split-second and difficult decisions,” the statement said.

It added: “Officer Wilson would like to thank those who have stood by his side throughout this process.”

In a 31-minute police interview, taken soon after the shooting and released Monday after the grand jury decision, Wilson described encountering Brown and a friend on the afternoon of Aug. 9 and suggesting that they move from the street to the sidewalk.

He said that one of the young men hurled an expletive at him, and that Brown then approached his police SUV and “started swinging and punching at me from outside the vehicle.” He said that they wrestled for the officer’s gun, with Brown grabbing around Wilson’s hand and pointing the gun

into the officer’s hip.

“At that point, I was guaranteed he was going to shoot me,” Wilson told a detective. The officer said he angled himself into a different position, then pulled the trigger and fired at Brown.

Wilson said that Brown ran away and he chased. He said Brown turned, “had the most intense aggressive face I’ve ever seen on a person,” and charged, with his hand under his shirt and inside his waistband. He said that he ordered Brown to get on the ground, and when he did not, he fired at Brown.

He said that Brown charged at him, “still running at me, hadn’t slowed down, hands still in his waistband.”

Wilson said that Brown was 8 to 10 feet away when the officer fired more shots and Brown fell.

“His right hand was still under his body, looked like it was still in his waistband,” Wilson told the detective.

“I never touched him.”

“I don’t think justice was served at all. I just feel like they’re saying that you can get away with murder if you’re a cop and it’s sad that we’re called ‘AmeriKKKa’. It really reminds me of the Trayvon Martin case. I don’t like how violent it’s getting. This has been happening for so long and to me it’s really unfair. I feel like if the races were switched, the cop would have gotten punishment.” — Kimberly, high school senior

“I want to be surprised at the no bill/no indictment - but I am not. I want to believe that the grand jury understood ‘probable cause’, as compared to ‘beyond a reasonable doubt’.

More importantly, I want to believe that probable cause for law enforcement officers is the same probable cause applied to the masses. I want to believe that. I will continue to pray for the Brown family, Ferguson, Missouri and for us all.” — Inga Hicks, attorney-at-law

New outdoor trail offers unique views of city AUGUSTA Even before it was finished, Augusta’s outdoor enthusiasts were

making good use of the River Levee the city’s only suspension bridge.

According to Dayton Sherrouse, the Trail, a running and bike trail along the Augusta Canal that now features Augusta Canal Authority’s executive director, the project had been greatly anticipated by the public.

The trail and added bridges are opening up expansive views of the Savannah River and North Augusta.

The River Levee Trail begins near Goodrich Street and Lake Olmstead, loops under River Watch Parkway at Raes Creek and parallels the parkway towards downtown Augusta.

Behind Sibley and King mills, new bridges breach the tailrace areas that flow into the river.

A boardwalk gives access to the upper level of the river levee before the trail ends at Hawks Gully. Sherrouse said future funding could extend the

trail even further.

The suspension bridge located behind King Mill is a highlight of the multipurpose paved trail, Sherrouse said. It offers new vistas of the river and historic mills.

“The cable suspension bridge is 190 feet long. It’s a unique, signature piece for Augusta,” he said.

The trail also features two solar-powered bathrooms with technology that eliminates odors. They were installed last month at the Sibley Mill tailrace and near the raw water pumping station.

The $1.7 million project was funded by a $925,000 Georgia Department of Transportation grant, canal authority funds and some special purpose local option sales tax dollars.
