Ferguson: I don’t know what to say.

I had a book news post scheduled to go up today, but I’ve delayed it till next week.

Last night, the grand jury returned a decision saying they were refraining from indicting the police officer who killed Mike Brown.  This means there will not be a trial.

More protests are breaking out.  People are angry, heartbroken, ashamed of the system we live under.

I’ve tried to think of something to say and I have nothing.  The grief I’m seeing, not just stemming from this one decision, but woven of the fabric of American society that would allow all of this to happen — unarmed kids dying, citizens getting tear gassed, police arresting journalists and government officials, the wide chasm of injustice when it comes to the amount of melanin in a person’s skin . . . I have no words.

So I’ll just say this, to my Black brothers and sisters and siblings: I see you.  Your lives matter.  I’m listening.

I’ll continue to listen.
