How Missouri's White Establishment Convinced America to Take Darren Wilson's Side

The Ferguson grand jury process was merely a formality, as there was never any intent to charge Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson for killing Michael Brown. Ever since Aug. 9, the politicians, police officers, and media voices that make up America’s white establishment have expertly crafted a narrative aimed at keeping white and black Americans from building solidarity with one another – the narrative being that America's justice system is impartial, that police officers need military equipment and a license to kill for basic self-defense, and that black Americans who are killed and persecuted in their own neighborhoods deserve it.
