Big freaky puppet inspires Sally Kohn to deem #FergusonOctober 'powerful and beautiful'

It’s another day of #FergusonOctober, and today the rioters cleared off the streets long enough to allow a feel-good rally. As September’s People’s Climate March demonstrated, it’s not a serious rally until someone breaks out the big freaky puppets.

@redsteeze @sallykohn Where's the giant puppets of all the police officers killed in the line of duty? Don't see much of those.

How about a puppet of a guy robbing a store then punching a cop? All I want is a little puppet balance. @sallykohn

That’s all we all really want, isn’t it?
