Someone said to me today the protest needs to go from Ferguson to Capital Hill, because that is the only way we can get change for Mike Brown, Eric Garner, Phillip Pannell, Charal "Rah Rah" Thomas, Jermaine Darden, Michael Bell, Amadou Diallo, Oscar Grant, Jon Ferrell, Alan Blueford, Chavis Carter, Sean Bell, Tim Stansbury, Ezell Ford, Ramarley Graham, Dane Scott, Patrick Dorismond, Wendell Allen, Victor Steen, Kendrec McDade, Kimane Gray, Armand Bennett, Derrick Williams, Ousmane Zongo, John Crawford, Jonny Gammage, Gus Rugley and the countless others that did not make it into the headlines. In order to prevent the next killing by a police officer there needs to be a new law that applies from state to state that addresses a police officer's use of force. This law should be drafted by law enforcement experts and civil rights leaders, not just law makers.
