Unfortunately, this alleged defender of civil rights had no intention of taking on a case against a cop when it wasn’t a slam-dunk.
And with all this talk about a big black demon and thug, crazed with pot in his system, attacking this poor, helpless, armed, 6’ 4" police officer with a police cruiser and radio communications at his disposal, it’s no slam dunk. Even though Wilson failed to file a complete police report, raising suspicions about a police cover up conspiracy, it wouldn’t be a slam dunk. Even though the grand jury was clearly fixed, it’s no slam dunk. It wouldn’t be a slam dunk even if we had the video, as with Eric Garner, because the “justice system” nearly always sides with the man with the badge.
To my mind, there’s no way Darren Wilson could miss so many shots if this big, hulking but totally unarmed young man was close enough to be a physical threat.
