to Sam: you wrote - “When you read the transcripts, it sounds like Wilson’s defense was, Well I was so panicked and terrified. He certainly capitalized on this idea of “Big Mike.” But remember, Darren Wilson and Mike Brown are the same size. You wouldn’t have guessed that based on the transcript. This panic about the hulking predator… if that is your feeling, then you shouldn’t be a police officer. It’s not a description of an accountable state actor. And the notion that police are state actors is lost here. You see this in this general sense that [many people believe] the police have to do whatever they can to protect themselves. But that is not their mission. That’s a complete misstatement of their duty. Public safety is their mission, not their own. It is almost an old fashioned sacrificial mission that is entirely lost in this sense of, We are at war and we are soldiers. We shoot first and ask questions later.” Thing is - what if he lost that prior police job for more than corruption? What if he is a TAK KKK? An operative on the local Ghoul Squad?
