We cannot doubt the truth or choose to ignore the horrifying reality of police brutality in Ferguson. We cannot form an opinion on the violence by picking and choosing which details of the news we are most comfortable with. In particular, white Americans need to deal with the fact that racist violence in our country is still an irrefutable occurrence and is going to continue taking the lives of black men and women until we begin to move forward as a society that does not deny the full reality of racism. We cannot ignore its manifestations and their devastating effects. We cannot defer our judgement to an institution that tries to justify the execution of innocent men. #JusticeforMikeBrown
