After several days of police brutality in Ferguson, MO (following the killing of an unarmed black teen) I've only got one song stuck in my head. Whenever something like this happens, people say "This is a turning point in our country". But my fear is that it will eventually get swept up and put away and we'll all go back to our favorite tv shows and the cycle will repeat. It happened here in our community and the cop got a 30 day suspension. Fuck these assholes.
