May we all learn to be as brave as those fighting now in #ferguson. There wasnt peace before, there wont be peace if we submit. We can continue to watch Al Sharpton speechify in front of weeping families, we could walk in somber marches, holding signs, we can wait for the next unarmed black kid to die by police bullet. We can fake the peace, but we should not be so blind to think that the war zone of police violence stops at the patrolled edges of Ferguson. I repeat here the words of late philosopher Bernard Williams, who noted that “to say peace when there is no peace is to say nothing.” In Ferguson, with broken glass and fire, something is being said. -Natasha Lennard (full article in the comments) msnbc/msnbc/eyewitness-michael-brown-fatal-shooting-missouri
