After 10 minutes of busy signal/not answering, I got through to governor's mansion at 573-751-4141, but operator could tell me nothing.
I asked 5 diff ways if there was anything he could tell me abt where the gov was/what was happening in #ferguson. He could tell me nothing.
Gov mansion switchboard operator: "I am not at liberty to make any kind of statement. I am sorry, ma'am." At least he was polite. #ferguson
573-751-4141 "Your party is not answering. Please try your call later. We're sorry, but your call will now be disconnected."

& shouldn't we know who the most biased are such that they're not put on the front line w/ automatic weapons in the most fraught situations?
I'm sure that's pie-in-the-sky hopeful, but if we can't train folks to be *less* racist, can't we at least make them aware of their biases?
Oh I think they are aware. But in many cases I don't think people understand the impact that their biases have on others. Or they feel justified because they feel aggrieved in their own way. - MoTO Boychick Devil
"they feel justified because they feel aggrieved in their own way." Yes, this. - maʀtha
