So now the public relations shoe is squeezing a different foot. Turns out the "gentle giant" (who was going to start college this week) wasn't so gentle after all. And the squealing of those who've invested so heavily in the narrative of an out of control cop stopping a guy for "walking while black" can be heard from coast to coast.
In the Duke "rape" case, we were told endlessly that that whore was on the honor role at her local JC. Similarly, we've been told endlessly that Brown was about to start college in a couple of days. As if that "proves" he wasn't capable of any wrong doing.
Brown was a big, hulking young man. I've seen photos of him posted (not in the MSM, of course) flashing gang signs and one where he's holding a pistol with a wad of money in his mouth. None of that automatically justifies his death of course. But it does require a little reflection. And an acknowledgement that we may have gotten what happened that night wrong. The part of the narrative that's never made sense to me is the claim that the officer somehow engaged Brown through the window of his patrol car and tried to pull him inside the vehicle. That makes exactly zero sense.
But the store surveillance photos of Brown intimidating a helpless middle aged lady in that convenience store, at a minimum, go a long way toward dispelling the myth that this was a choir boy whom cops were hassling just because he was "walking while black."
