Die-in at DC Police headquarters protests Ferguson, killer cops

On the 25th of November, people outraged by the refusal of the Ferguson grand jury to indict killer cop Darren Wilson staged a die-in at DC police headquarters. The die-in lasted 4 1/2 minutes, one minute for each hour Michael Brown's body was left in the street by the St Louis police department. DC cops too routinely shoot and kill African-American youth, they too need to listen to the fury of the streets on this issue.

DC cops have shown their coldness on this issue by "joking" that African-American protest organizers were "crackheads" at the latest round of Ferguson protests. I don't think I've ever seen a crack pipe at a protest, a meeting of protesters,or an activist party in my entire life, going all the way back to organizing against US intervention in El Salvador in the 1980's!
