Wilson literally told him to get out of the middle of the street. If Brown would have complied, he could have continued his thugging.

Yeah, and isn’t it racist to use that word to mean “bad”?

“Hanaway painted a picture of violence and decline every bit as dark as the vision Donald Trump had delivered in his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention...”

Isn’t “dark” a code word for black?

“Dark” themes are inappropriate because everything in Ferguson is now puppies and rainbows. How dare a politician point out problems during an election year.

Thanks for your insight chron -

I do like that Kinder knows the turf waaaay better than the others. Greitens comes off as opportunist with an unclear agenda.

I am 6-7, 285 pounds. Even at 55, I never consider myself unarmed because of my size. Brown was my size and 18. He could have killed with a forearm shiver.

Ferguson was a series of disasters, one after another. Lies by BLM, started immediately. Failure of the Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson to release information. A weak response to demonstrations blocking intersections and highways. A really weak response by the Highway Patrol Captain Johnson put in charge, who would not authorize aggressive tactics to stop the looting.

George Soros backed outside agitators aligned with the Communist Party of the USA who had very deep pockets to bail people out of jail every night. Local law firms suing every municipality they could for alleged over policing for profit. The emergence of a local non-profit named better Together pushing for consolidation of municipalities, as long as it was the underperforming ones (read:black), a local small time alderman for St. Louis City named Antonio French, a constant foil for the police, setting up a SJW office in Ferguson, as a platform for his eventual run up to mayor, The Police Executive Research Forum jumping in recommending the dissolution of all police department in St. Louis County except for the county police. The lawyer for the Brown family was the chief of police for a nearby agency who had one of the worst records for civil rights violations.

And we are going into year three, and another year of people taking over intersections, looting on various scales, officers shot, etc. and no one word of apology, reconciliation or acceptance of responsibility by BLM.

Their very existence is predicated on the shooting of violent black males by the police.

I tell everyone I can that unarmed does not mean not dangerous.
