I've made up my mind. I packed a bag. I'm going.

Sometimes shaking your fist angrily at the tv screen just isn't enough.

People of all races here in unity protesting. Volunteers handing out water and pizza. Chants of "hands up don't shoot." No police here.

Good to see MVP take advantage of his ability to actually head out to Ferguson and make a difference.
