the hands up don't shoot position. and then i fell to my knees. and i stayed in that position for the duration of the national anthem. and that was just again to emphasise that was just again to emphasise that we have done nothing wrong, we do not deserve this, we are in the most lowly position that we could possibly be and still this violence is an act against us. at the end of the national anthem i collapsed to the national anthem i collapsed to the floor in a you know, representing death or the impact and ilaid on representing death or the impact and i laid on the ground forforeign representing death or the impact and i laid on the ground for foreign a half minutes. to represent the foreign a half hours that michael brown's body laid in the streets. after the foreign half minutes i rose to my feet giving the salute, some people call it the human rights salute, some people call it the black power salute with my back to the flag to say that we are not
