I've watched the media coverage of this, especially the dismay shown by some media outlets over the Grand Jury's findings. Here is my take on the whole thing.
A young black thug, high on marijuana, who thought the world owed him something, steals some minor items from a convenience store just to show how big and tough he was.
A police officer on another call – domestic violence which is always something they hate – responds to the call. When he sees someone matching the description of the perp, he calls him over.
Brown goes to the patrol car and, still thinking what a big deal he was, stupidly decides to pop the cop twice in the face!
Fearing for his well-being, the cop pulls his pistol and shoots the thug twice. The punk decides to run and when the cop gets out of the patrol car and tells him to stop, he turns and charges the cop. He's big and already showed a willingness to physically attack the cop who then puts him down for good.
Had this been a black cop putting a black punk down, not a thing would be said. Had it been a black cop putting a white or Hispanic punk down, nothing would have come of it. Had it been a white cop putting a while punk down, silence.
And we get more black punks running around the streets destroying things belonging to their black neighbors.
I think the jury found right. I think punks like Sharpton and the rest should keep their big mouths shut – including Obama. And, when the civil trials are over, Wilson will be found innocent. However, like Zimmerman, his life will be destroyed and he will have to spend the rest of his life hiding from the media.
That is the true injustice.
