yea I respected the guy right up until I heard that crap
I think the police chief of Ferguson got a raw deal. They told him not to release the tape that showed Michael Brown was anything but saintly and was actually a nasty thug. The video would eventually come out. If he had not been prevented from releasing the video earlier, the race baiters may have not been able to drum up so much support.
If it was, then Johnson's statement that the robbery and the shooting were not related is total BS. At minimum, Brown was the common denominator in both.
No, I'm not saying robbing some smokes justified the shooting. But the action in the video certainly lends some credibility to the police version of the shooting.
Is it too much to surmise that the release of the video was based on a reasonably thorough examination and conclusion that Brown was the perp in the video?
Johnson's statements about his son wearing his pants hitched down and his baseball cap crooked plays to some very ugly stereotypes about young black men. My co-worker's son who regularly mows our lawn and several others in the neighborhood wouldn't be caught dead in that attire. He is neat, polite and efficient . . . to mow lawns. People don't hire him because he's black, but because he is polite and efficient. I, for one, wouldn't even care about the neat part, because summertime lawn mowing doesn't even lend itself to neatness.
Not me....I had him pegged from day one; another camera lover, such as Schumer et al.
