In the aftermath of the
shooting of Michael Brown, there has been a lot of jumping to conclusions that
this is the case of a bad cop killing an innocent unarmed young Black man. Not to mention the portrayals of Brown
as a “gentle giant”, etc.
But then we saw footage of
him robbing a store and manhandling the owner just before the shooting. And then there were reports that he was
coming after the cop when he was shot.
And now there are reports
(which I am not in a position to confirm) that the cop sustained severe facial
injuries. It appears Brown smashed
the policeman’s eye socket.
The more that comes out,
the more the Bad Cop vs. Young Black Victim narrative seems not to be
applicable here.
Now I am not going to jump
to conclusions either. There are
conflicting versions out there of what happened. But the race-baiters should be
called out for jumping to conclusions and feeding the unrest in Ferguson.
This is another George Zimmerman/Treyvon Martin type of incident. It does not matter what the truth is, for many it could be clearly shown that Darren Wilson was badly injured and Micheal Brown was the aggressor, they will still claim that Darren Wilson should be judged guilty of capital murder.
ReplyDeleteDitto! It doesn't matter what the facts are, the protestors have already made up their minds.
