We don't know what happened.

This just in:

Darren Wilson was revealed today as the officer who shot Michael Brown.

When [the Ferguson chief of police] announced Wilson's name, they handed out copies of a police report relating to a convenience store "strong arm" robbery that took place in the area shortly before Brown's fatal shooting, showing that the police see the two events as connected.

"After viewing Brown and reviewing this video, I was able to confirm that Brown is the primary suspect in this incident," the police report about the convenience store robbery stated.

Blacks have never trusted the police but what is amazing is there has been a 180 degree switch in sentiment among conservatives now.

I can’t explain all the reasons or the implications but it’s pretty important. I feel the change too.

I understand, as I said I feel it too.

The talkers and the pundits haven’t picked up on it yet. Not even Rush has seen this societal evolution.
