TRUST BLACK WOMEN TO TAKE OUT MIKE BROWN'S COP PROTECTING WHITE PROSECUTOR ON ELECTION NIGHT

Prosecutor Bob McCullough, who did as much to protect Darren Wilson after he murdered Mike Brown as his defense attorney did, was voted out of a job last night. He’s the third prosecutor, that I can think of off the top of my head to get HIS head handed to him on election night thanks to black women. Only this time, black women put a black person, Wesley Bell, in the white man’s place.

In a surprise upset Tuesday night, a Ferguson, Missouri, councilman promising criminal justice reform ousted a 28-year incumbent St. Louis County prosecutor known nationally for his decision not to file charges against the police officer who shot Michael Brown in 2014.

Wesley Bell, a 43-year-old black man, campaigned on a variety of criminal justice reform promises, including one to rid the county of cash bail for nonviolent offenders, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. When he won the Democratic nomination, he essentially guaranteed he will fill the St. Louis County prosecuting attorney position, as he is running unopposed in November. 

But as much as Bell’s victory was a vote for reform, it was also a rejection of the system that allowed Darren Wilson, the officer who fired 12 bullets at teenager Michael Brown four years ago, to walk free....

Apparently, Bob’s going to retire sooner and poorer than planned. I wonder if he’s on the phone to Darren Wilson right now looking for half of that ABC Interview money. As I recall Wilson got one million dollars to show tell the public how red one his cheeks got after Brown supposedly “attacked” him.

VOTING MATTERS.

Bell doesn’t just represent a change of face. He represents a change in attitude.

For example, he wants to stop requiring cash bail for non-violent offenses. Blacks, having a higher poverty rate, were often languishing in jail for stupid stuff like unpaid parking tickets or kiting checks, while Becky – who tried to blow Chad’s head off during an argument—got to wait for her court date at home because she had access to enough money to make bail.

VOTING MATTERS

Mike Brown died 4 years ago today.  This is but a small tribute. But we are inching our way forward. We've taken out white prosecutors in Ohio and Florida over the last few years. And now some folks are calling on the Missouri governor to re-open Mike Brown's case. I hope the citizens of that state are successful because I know more now then I did at the time -- the most important part being that the police only showed us a fraction of the videos available from that store.
