mike brown should be in college right now. mike brown should be pulling all-nighters studying for tests. mike brown should be going to visit his family for thanksgiving. but instead of that he’s six feet under because that’s where darren wilson decided he belonged. and now darren wilson is married and half a million dollars richer. don’t forget this. don’t forget that darren wilson took away everything  mike brown could have had and is walking free despite that.

I have no words.

Wow.  Not even he looked like a demon.  It.  He was an it to Darren Wilson, who apparently is such a shitty cop he wasn’t maintaining his service weapon properly.

Not to mention, of course, that he acknowledges Brown’s hands were up.

Wilson can say straight-up that there was no real threat, and his bloodlust is still deemed justifiable. Quite literally, he states his only justification to be that Brown looked wrong.

The 12 most maddening parts of Darren Wilson’s testimony

The whole thing, Officer Darren Wilson said, took less than a minute.

In documents released late Monday night after a Missouri grand jury decided not to indict him for the killing of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown, Wilson gives a detailed, firsthand account of what he says happened on that hot summer afternoon in Ferguson. The testimony was given Sept. 16, a little more than five weeks after Wilson encountered Brown walking with his friend Dorian Johnson down the middle of a suburban street.
