(Video) OK!! Wiz Khalifa Pays Tribute To Mike Brown During Performance!
In his recent interview with DJ Whoo Kid, Wiz Khalifa made it very clear that he does things with today’s youth in mind. Whether it be crafting music for our future leaders or standing with them in protest. Now, obviously, given his stature, it’d be almost impossible for Wiz — who is set to release his fifth studio album, Blacc Hollywood, on Aug. 19th — to physically march in Ferguson, Missouri during his tour stop in St. Louis. Instead, while performing, Khalifa opted to wear a white tee with “Don’t Shoot” on the front, and “#RIPMIKEBROWN” on the back, paying homage to the late teen slain by Ferguson police. Check out the video from REVOLT after the jump.

(Video) Missouri Residents Succumb To Tear Gas & Rubber Bullets As Protests Over Mike Brown’s Death Continue
This is absolutely disturbing. Days after Michael Brown, 18 was shot and killed by a Ferguson, Mo police officer, residents continue to riot and protest. Men, women and children are on the scene with their hands in the air chanting, “don’t shoot!” Monday evening, armed with face masks, police threw tear gas into the crowd of shouters along with the propelling of rubber bullets into what was called a, “war zone.” Officials in the area say that there have been about 15 arrests during this time period, but none were seriously injured. As things slowly begin to simmer down, the FBI announces that they will be investigating potential civil-rights violations of shooting. United States attorney general Eric Holder said that a thorough investigation is “critical for preserving trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve.” Surely, that ship has sailed. The police have yet to release the name of the officer involved in the shooting, but said they will do so Tuesday afternoon. Be on the lookout. Until then, hit the jump for Monday night’s scene.

Take yourself back to the day you first sat down and watched, Do The Right Thing. Remember how the police did Radio Raheem? Remember how the people in the city reacted? Imagine that same thing happening in 2014. Teen Michael Brown was only a couple days shy of beginning his college education when he went to St. Louis, MO from Ferguson, MO to visit his grandmother only to never return home nor go off to school. Depending on who is reciting the story, you will get multiple scenarios, but one guy seems to make his statement pretty clear after uploading his reaction on YouTube. “Bruh, don’t shoot me. Don’t shoot me,” the witness says that Mike yelled after the police officer pulled a gun on him, but to no avail. The cop shot Mike about eight times. Check out this and more down bottom.
