Whose Streets? Page #3

---

We got to be our own keepers.

We got to love one another.

Murderers!

Murderers!

Murderers!

They down there...

Goddamn, sh*t.

And that's how you know it's time to go.

People are doing 90. Sh*t.

L.A. 1992, this is so sad, man.

This is so f***ing sad.

We're walking up on the barricade now.

I don't even think I can count the

number of police vehicles out here.

This f***ing breaks my heart.

Ahhh. Okay.

I'm trying to walk around...

trying to walk around

this way because my car is over there.

I'm genuinely trying to get back to my car.

You have to walk all the way down

that way until all the police end,

cross the street...

So, you gonna send me where it's dangerous

and people are rioting and looting,

when I'm trying to walk in police

presence to get back to safety?

- You shouldn't have come here.

- I shouldn't have come here?

- I have a right to be wherever I am.

- You're correct.

So to tell me I shouldn't have

come here, that's the attitude

that got them doing what they doing.

That's not helpful, officer Neff.

How ridiculous. Now I'm mad, ha.

We about to get out of

here. They got on gas masks.

You know what that means.

You know what that means.

- They coming now.

- Here they come. There they go.

Woohoo! St. Louis West side, what it do.

We had a peaceful protest

over there the whole day.

Candlelight vigil

over there, you know,

but that ain't the story that

you hear about August 10th.

We begin in the St.

Louis suburb of Ferguson.

Police are calling for calm this morning

after a night of looting and fires.

This all started when what was

supposed to be a very peaceful

vigil tonight for Michael

Brown turned into this.

Teams of thieves using

the protest as an excuse

to steal jeans, shoes,

and expensive tire rims.

The Quik Trip was broken into.

The glass was busted out.

Details surrounding the shooting that

sparked this fire, in great debate.

At ground zero, police painted

over threatening graffiti.

And as sundown approaches, officials are fearful

of another night of looting and violence.

They say that a building burning is

worse than a black person getting shot,

right, because this building serviced

white people and this black body did not.

A building's a building.

You can rebuild a building.

You can't resuscitate a life

after it lies on the ground

for four and a half hours

with eight bullets in it.

Um, and so, I don't consider

that violence, right, like...

I consider that a righteous

nonviolent direct action.

The question that solidifies

violence to me are...

were there any people harmed?

Did any people die?

Like that qualifies violence.

A building is a building.
