Arguably the most significant uprising in many years in this country, in response to the national phenomena of police terrorizing communities of color has been taking place in Ferguson Missouri. Ferguson residents, despite a virtual military style occupation, by local, state and federal law enforcement, in the aftermath of the police shooting death of Michael Brown simply will not back down even in the face of the military tactics and the weapons being used to suppress dissent in violation of constitutional rights.
