If you are a defender of Darren Wilson gunning down Michael Brown
have you tried to put yourself or one of your relatives in the place of Brown and considered from that perspective?
Perhaps you have a skewed perception of Brown and think he was a demon or like Hulk Hogan? No, Michael Brown was a recent high school grad with no police record. Not to say he didn't have faults, but according to the public record he was not the young man that Wilson is trying to portray.
Perhaps you think the convenience store incident justifies the use of deadly force?
Perhaps you think that Michael Brown attacked this officer with no real reason other than he was an insane thug?
Perhaps you believe everything Wilson says?
