The Michael Brown Protests

Since when are the conditions for protesting determined by those the protests are aimed at? The shitty police force in Ferguson murdered Michael Brown, tried to cover it up, they've occupied the community, and now, their dictating to those in the community how to hurt, how to grieve, how to protest. Isn't it the point of a protest to disrupt normal, everyday activity? What's the value of a protest if it does not force attention and resolution on whatever the issue is? The occupation of Ferguson is bullshit; the curfew, and all the other restrictions the authorities at any given moment have placed on these people's right to demand justice, are tactics to undermine efforts to bring one of their own to justice. Sad.
