This is what's playing out very publicly.... And no, I don't feel sorry for those involved. These are people who jumped at the first opportunity to sell us out. People who not only allowed outsiders to come in and coopt our movement, they enjoyed all the perks and had no problem doing their bidding.
These are people who we stood next too, got tear gassed next to... who left the movement, the community and families of victims high and dry to hang with people they didn't even know.
All it took was a lil gassing... and they went along to get along. Now that the ride is over they're disappointed, hurt and feel used. Now they know how we felt when they dropped the ball in Ferguson, used the murder of Michael Brown and our collective efforts to get on... for money, fame & access.
