Iconic (MSNBC's words - see picture lol!) Michael Brown memorial torn down

[Bozos @ MSNBC]

This is "iconic" per MSNBC.

It looks like a fucking trash heap.

A memorial that grew from the spot along Canfield Drive in
Ferguson, Missouri where Michael Brown Jr. lay bleeding after
being shot by a police officer last summer became a symbol of
the young man’s life and death, but also the violent end that
too many black men in America face.

The memorial cropped up soon after Brown’s killing and grew to
include dozens of teddy bears, flower bouquets, balloons,
baseball caps and candles. For the better part of a year since
Brown’s killing the memorial and another that formed around a
telephone pole a few yards away, were ubiquitous reminders of
the teen’s death, a ripple of soft sentiment amid the shockwaves
of protest and outrage.

At the request of the city of Ferguson, the memorial was removed
on Wednesday afternoon as part of a plan to repave that forlorn
stretch of Canfield Drive.

“We understand this situation is not easy for all parties
involved,” Mayor James Knowles III said in a statement. “This
event will forever be a part of Ferguson’s history – but it is
important that the community moves forward.”

A memorial to a kid that attacked a police officer, tried to
take his gun and got shot. About time it was taken down and they
can move on.

Billy's not a racist, he's a realist. You on the other hand, you
are the real racist.

Rice said the sheer size of the old memorial offered a symbol
that mothers and fathers of young black children could use as a
teaching tool.
yes if you attack a cop you may get one of these.

Brown robbed a store, attacked a police officer, tried to steal
the gun to use against the police officer and punched the cop in
the face.
And they want to reward that type of behaviour with a
memorial????

Tell you what Ferguson. The Brown family are suing the City of
Ferguson so with the money they receive they can afford to build
their own memorial.
If they don't win their case, go door to door and ask for
donations.
