Above: Police wearing riot gear try to disperse a crowd Monday, Aug. 11, 2014, in Ferguson, Mo. The FBI opened an investigation Monday into the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, who police said was shot multiple times Saturday after being confronted by an officer in Ferguson. Authorities in Ferguson used tear gas and rubber bullets to try to disperse a large crowd Monday night that had gathered at the site of a burned-out convenience store damaged a night earlier, when many businesses in the area were looted.

#NMOS14
Today is the National Moment of Silence for Victims of Police Brutality.
We will peacefully assemble at over 90 vigils across the nation to share in a moment of silence and solidarity with each other.
Today, we will show the world and each other that we can come together, as ONE.
To find events near your city visit here.
Peaceful vigils honoring the innocent lives lost and pay respect to those whose lives have been affected by police brutality will gather on August 14, 2014 at 7pm EST/4pm PT. Moment of silence will start at the: 20 minute mark.
To identify each other and show solidarity, wear a red ribbon/cloth/bandana on your right arm at the vigils. Do not wear red if in areas where doing so can cause conflict.
This google doc is so we can have a clear view of which states don’t have any vigils already established.
If you have any questions about the event, please ask them at the official facebook page or in the #NMOS14 tag on twitter.
