Let’s get on a ladder and “reach” some more.
Great reader comment from the article page:
“Here is a 1000 word essay about one subjective term used by a police officer. Um. ok. This reminds of of the elaborate explanations of abstract paintings. Look, you can see what you want to in a term used by Wilson, but there is a ton of history and social interpretation being projected on this and it’s really really out of hand, I’m sorry.”
That reader nailed it.
The officer said Brown looked like a demon charging him...
For the religious amongst us, is it so improbable that a demon actually could have possessed Michael and driven him to his death via cop-assisted suicide?
Why wasn’t this possibility included in NPR’s massive reach for any explanation?
