We on this site have ranted, raved, and expressed our outrage as one incident after another of police brutality has come to light. We have sent diary after diary detailing police brutality to the top of the Recommended list. We have written millions of words condemning such brutality and expressed our support for the families of the victims.

We have fulfilled exactly half of Reverend William Barber's exhortation; we have gotten angry. But Reverend Barber didn't stop there. After police had arrested the young black politician, Ty Turner, for distributing voting-rights leaflets, Reverend Barber gave this full charge to Mr. Turner's crying friends and to us:

“I want you to be angry. Rosa Parks got angry, and she changed the world. Take this incident and turn it into power"

Below the orange divider, you will find the law we have been working on for the past five weeks. Our law may not be the perfect answer, but we think that it can be a part of the solution.

Take Action!

What actions will we take? What ideas have you got? What suggestions for others? What will you do?

We have received a few suggestions, but we know many more steps need to be taken. We do not know all the possibilities. Personal contacts, traditional media, new media, the gamut of social media, contacting legislators, petitions, emails, letters to editors. We are transitioning from writing the Michael Brown Over-Policed Rights Act to getting it passed into law. What is missing? What have we overlooked?

Here is what we are asking you to do:

(1) Print out copies of the federal version.
(2) Print out copies of the state version.
(3) Print out copies of the cover letter (or write your own).
(4) Using whatever mode or method of communication you are comfortable with, send those copies to people you think can make a difference.
(5) When you have feedback, share that feedback with us.

Let's act.

Let's act for those who can no longer act for themselves.

Let's act for those who hurt for those who can no longer act for themselves, including Lesley McSpadden, the mother of Michael Brown:
