TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! KANSAS CITY ACTIVISTS PLAN WEEKEND OF PROTEST AMID ANNIVERSARY OF MIKE BROWN DEADLY POLICE SHOOTING!!!

This weekend Kansas City activists calling out police brutality and inequality will be taking to the streets in solidarity with protestors across the nation marking the one year anniversary of Michael Brown's death that inspired a series of Ferguson, Missouri into racial uprising riots.

To wit . . .

RIGHT NOW ON TKC WE'VE GOT FIRST LOOK AT KANSAS CITY ACTIVISTS PLANNING MIKE BROWN AND POLICE BRUTALITY PROTEST CULMINATING IN A SUNDAY MOCK FUNERAL PROCESSION!!!

This news has been floating around the Internets for days but we hear some denizens of the local media have been told to downplay it . . .



Here's the word from a protest touted by many local activists and earning a bit of support from More2

"This Sunday marks exactly one year since, on a sunny Saturday afternoon, Officer Darren Wilson shot and killed victim Mike Brown in Ferguson, MO. What followed, after 4.5 hours of officials recklessly leaving Mike Brown's body in the street, was a swelling crowd of neighborhood folks standing in the streets, refusing to be silent over the blatant disregard for this young man's life. This wasn't just a moment. It was the beginning of a movement.

"Many traveled from KC to stand in solidarity with the people of Ferguson. Profoundly, at our Clergy Caucus, a minister from another state asked, "Do you think this could happen here?" Over time that question evolved among many of us to, "Why haven't the people of our metro area reacted when shootings by officers have already happened here?"

"Ryan Stokes, a member of Zion Grove Missionary Baptist Church, was shot and killed after an evening at the Power and Light district, just over two years ago. Google his name and decide for yourself if you are satisfied with how his life ended. Just a couple of weeks ago, in July, Javon Hawkins was killed by a KCPD officer. Mixed reports revealed that Hawkins was swinging a sword or maybe another object. Google his name and decide for yourself if his life needed to end.

"This Sunday, at 1PM sharp, members of MORE-squared and allies will gather IN THE PARKING LOT OF ZION GROVE at 2801 Swope Pkwy KCMO. We will be changing locations, do not go inside the church, stay in the parking lot, in your cars. We will be changing locations from here, driving a couple of miles, to our second locale. We will hold a brief public call to action at our second locale. PLEASE WEAR BLACK and BRING SIGNS to show your support for racially just law enforcement. We will be done at 2PM.
