“thug” is the new n word used to dehumanize black people and justify their deaths. he wasnt a thug. he was a fucking person.

people on BOTH SIDES of the case said over and over that darren wilson did not know about the cigars. mike brown was not killed for petty theft. he was killed for j walking by the wrong officer, and for being black in america.

you say “big man”, because black children are never afforded the innocence of white children. he was 18, just out of high school, heading to college. hes younger than me. he was a child, he was somebody’s child. and darren wilson is 6’4, 215 lbs, but we dont talk about that bc it was never about mike brown’s height, it was just an excuse to always view black people as inherently threatening. even though darren wilson was the one with a gun and institutional power.

“the cop did what he had to do”. you sound like all your research was done by watching fox news and listening to some uninformed racist rant. read the [jury transcript].

• 6 eye witness accounts that go against darren wilson’s claims were thrown out
• darren wilson didn’t complete an incident report (which is illegal)
• he didn’t go to the hospital until after talking to his attorney, and the pictures of his “injuries” are nonexistent, or at the very least not something to make him “fear for his life” as he claimed
• he didn’t carry a taser bc its “not the most comfortable thing” [x]. this was not a man who was hesitant to use lethal weapons
• the medical examiner didn’t take photos of mike brown’s body bc the “battery in [their] camera died” [x]. they never even pretended to value his life.
• the attorney who questioned darren wilson during his grand jury testimony was a retired police officer. read the transcript and see how easy they went on him, he wasn’t even cross examined
• mike brown was shot at least 6 times, twice in the head. then he was left on the street for 4 1/2 hours, dead, before an ambulance was called. darren wilson killed him, and then walked up to his dead body and shot his dead body multiple times. these are not the actions of a moral man protecting society, scared for his life. these are the actions of a man who wanted to kill.
• in the transcript im sure you’ll read, bc you sound like someone who wants the truth (ha), you’ll see how darren wilson describes mike brown’s reaction to being shot: “at this point it looked like he was almost bulking up to run through the shots, like it was making him mad that i’m shooting at him. and the face that he had was looking straight through me, like i wasn’t even there, i wasn’t even anything in his way” darren wilson also described mike brown as “it” and a “demon” [x]. constantly trying to paint mike brown like some nonhuman who gets stronger with every bullet. he LITERALLY dehumanizes him on record. darren wilson is a racist who did not hesitate to kill an UNARMED boy who held his hands up and begged for his life.
  

its weird how you mention the gas station incident, as if stealing $15 worth of products warrants his murder. bc white people have literally shot up schools, waved guns around in public, escaped from prison, and generally posed a severe threat to public safety, and THEY have been brought into custody ALIVE. 

dont come here and pretend its not about race. dont come here using words like “thug” to describe someone’s dead child. and dont come here telling me i would’ve done the same thing, because i would never be able to view the murder of a person like the social ethnic cleansing you and your side seem to view it as.
