Taking photos in front of a dead Ferguson protestor. One allegedly justified it by saying, "He's already dead."

Looks fake. The police wouldn't just let them walk up that close to the body.

Basically, a dead body surrounded by crime scene tape was set up by protestors in Philadelphia as a reference to the Michael Brown shooting and protestors attempted to see how people would react to the sight of a dead black man.

Few to none of the passers by were upset or even attempted to ask what was going on. Some people took the crime scene tape down and blithely posed for photos. There are more photos in the link.

Yeah, this is definitely hammed up. No way the cops would let this happen. Still, if it's real, these dudes are massive assholes.

An important clarification: It's not an actual dead person. Using an actual corpse in a protest display would be pretty f^cked up.

Meh. If you had to stop sightseeing in Paris because there is a protest there you could not sightsee a single day of the year. Cheesy

So a person was lying on the ground? Is that correct?
