I have to go & stand in front of my Policing in Society class tomorrow. I don't know what we'll do but I know it won't be the planned lesson

— Kevin Karpiak (@kevinkarpiak) November 25, 2014

. @kevinkarpiak Me too. Actually, we have a guest speaker — a local captain coming to class… Hopefully MN nice will prevail?

— Michelle S. Phelps (@MichelleSPhelps) November 25, 2014

@MichelleSPhelps should it?

— Kevin Karpiak (@kevinkarpiak) November 25, 2014

@kevinkarpiak Right, hence the ? I don't know. This class has been amazing. Different perspectives but a lot of respect and dialogue

— Michelle S. Phelps (@MichelleSPhelps) November 25, 2014

@kevinkarpiak But not sure if that can/should prevail tomorrow. Not sure shouting guest down/out helps much though.

@MichelleSPhelps I don't know, I just don't know

If you're fortunate enough to be entrusted with teaching today, you owe it to us to help your students process the #Ferguson events.

@kevinkarpiak do you have suggestions for how to talk about this in class tomorrow?

— Megan McCullen (@GLEthnohistory) November 25, 2014

@GLEthnohistory not really, or rather, too many ideas. Luckily the course itself has laid much of the groundwork https://t.co/4kD2jeuMW0

— Kevin Karpiak (@kevinkarpiak) November 25, 2014

@kevinkarpiak Right. I'm trying to come up with something to say in an intro course that hasn't focused on this yet!

— Megan McCullen (@GLEthnohistory) November 25, 2014

@GLEthnohistory advice: don't give grand explanation. Just give them space to talk & to work through it

— Kevin Karpiak (@kevinkarpiak) November 25, 2014

@kevinkarpiak That is mostly what we did. I then added context when they brought up ideas that we have terms for: structural inequality, etc

— Megan McCullen (@GLEthnohistory) November 25, 2014

@kevinkarpiak We also ended up discussion weapons of the weak, forms of resistance, and racial inequality in the US justice system.

U.S. attorneys prosecuted 162,000 federal cases in 2010. Grand juries declined to return an indictment in 11 of them. http://t.co/IAQKT6qnCc

Someone yelled "Fuck that" towards a FOX News reporter, who then reported it as "F the police. F Fox News." #metonymy #police #Ferguson

Holy shit, CNN's live coverage is sickening

— Kevin Karpiak (@kevinkarpiak) November 25, 2014

I take that slur of CNN back, I was still on Fox

CNN is no better "@kevinkarpiak: I take that slur of CNN back, I was still on Fox"

Funny how looting is newsworthy when individuals do it, but not when the banks do it and tank the global economy. #Ferguson

"I felt like a 5-yr-old holding onto Hulk Hogan." Brown 6'3", Wilson 6'4" #ferguson

"He was just staring at me, almost like to intimidate or overpower me. the intense face he had was just not what I expected" #ferguson

— Jennifer Carlson (@jdawncarlson) November 25, 2014

Just like #Goetz said at his 1986 trial that it was the "shine in their eyes" #ferguson cc @hthompsn @MichelleSPhelps @KerametR @LettaPage

— Jennifer Carlson (@jdawncarlson) November 25, 2014

"He's OBVIOUSLY bigger than I was and stronger" Brown 6'3", Wilson 6'4" #ferguson

"IT looks like a demon" #Ferguson

— Jennifer Carlson (@jdawncarlson) November 25, 2014

"I see a cloud of dust behind him"??? Because, what, he really is a demon?! #ferguson

— Jennifer Carlson (@jdawncarlson) November 25, 2014

"it looked like he was almost bulking up to run thru the shots. like it was making him mad that i was shooting at him." #ferguson

— Jennifer Carlson (@jdawncarlson) November 25, 2014

"the face that he had was looking straight through me" this is a descriptor of face of someone who has been shot innumerable times #ferguson

— Jennifer Carlson (@jdawncarlson) November 25, 2014

I want to know if Darren Wilson was coached, and by whom, about his testimony.

— Jennifer Carlson (@jdawncarlson) November 25, 2014

@jdawncarlson it reads so strangely like the old NYT article describing effects of cocaine on blacks.
