I'll keep this short as I've been told by commenters, as well as friends that I post too much about police brutality, the problem though isn't me, it's the increasing frequency of murder by cop. I deliberately had stopped posting on this subject but it keeps happening, it seems every day.
In the case of Michael Brown, the cop, of course, Darren Wilson claims that Brown was trying to take his gun and had "beat him up" in the attempt. But frankly, even if that's true, all it shows is that he was a coward who killed Brown out of pique or revenge, as Brown was unarmed, and no where near Wilson when murdered.
If I, or anyone else without a badge, i.e. a cop, had been beaten up, allegedly, and then had shot his alleged attacker, emptying the gun a minute or so later, they'd have been locked away no question. So why hasn't Wilson? Or any one of the thousands of other perpetrators of murder by cop? Why is all they get the proverbial slap on the wrist, if they get anything at all, and then go on as though nothing ever happened, while their victims, and the families of their victims, don't get to go on at all?
End of lecture.
