When LaShell Eikerenkoetter cast her vote for Wesley Bell in the St. Louis County Democratic primary on Tuesday, she took the spirit of Michael Brown with her to the ballot box.
She had a sole purpose on Election Day: Get rid of Bob McCulloch , the veteran prosecutor who did not get an indictmentagainst the white former Ferguson, Missouri, police officer who fatally shot the unarmed, black 18-year-old four years ago this week.
“To show that four years later, when this man — who could’ve given us justice decided not to and did everything in his power to do the opposite — that we hadn’t forgotten about him and that Mike Brown was still in our hearts. ... Getting him out was for the family, for all the people that have fought, and for everybody that we have lost,” the 28-year-old Eikerenkoetter, who is black, said Thursday after attending a protest marking the anniversary of Brown’s Aug. 9, 2014, death. “It was about so much more than getting Bob McCulloch out. It was about what he represented.”
Looks like there is finally a little justice for Michael Brown, who was murdered by a Ferguson police officer. Won't bring him back, but the DA who let the cop slide is no longer going to be a DA. He has been primaried out.
