[will of the people]

well- i'm stupid enough to reply to this
when the story first broke- i was hard pressed to defend a police officer shooting an unarmed man multiple times
like many americans, i am concerned at the militarization and thuggish behavior of those who in my youth were expected to protect and serve
i have seen the rise of large bulky less that high intelligent men being recruited onto police forces
i do not think this is accidental
here's my upshot on the ferguson case
do i think wilson may have massaged the story in some ways- either to justify his actions or to relieve questions in his mind- very very possibley
but it's very hard for me to believe that blood inside the car got there in a way consistent with a defensible story for mr brown
it's very hard for me to understand fingerprints on the gun belonging to mr brown having gotten there in any innocent way
i cannot see how there could be a reasonable conclusion that there is enough evidence to prosecute this case
having said that- the thuggish behavior of police officers must be stopped- and if i as a white man feel that, i can only imagine that black men do as well will wallace

Its not surprising that the demographic group statistics show more likely to commit just about every kind of serious crime in the books than any other demographic would feel a strong antipathy towards the authorities charged with apprehending them.
