(#Ferguson Discussion)
As the creepy images cross our screens, of the evil-eyed Officer who shot and killed unarmed teen Mike Brown, we cannot help but cringe and wonder what Michael Brown was up against in those last few moments.
As media often does with our Black youth in the story, let us take a look at facts that are unfolding about Wilson's prior years before this said attempt to arrest Mike Brown that ended in a complete worldwide tragedy.
Are you aware that Darren was a *statistic?
-Parents split after only 4 years of marriage
-Mother was a criminal with a record of committed crimes
-Fits profile of what they say about one- parent-home-youth's future years
-His own wife just recently divorced him and left with their only child
-Numerous reports from citizens in Ferguson of this said 'calm guy' are unfolding, with reports saying he often addressed them yelling and with harsh explicits like 'shut the F*** up!'
(*from media stories on the officer)
Was Darren some good-guy cop that is now being portrayed in a bad light?
You will only assume that if you are pausing at all he presents from the outside: White skin, beady eyes in a police uniform.
From what lies within him perspective, his stats and life growing up may possibly indicate undiagnosed violent behavior that he unleashed on the residents in the streets of Ferguson, Missouri, only to finally hit the breaking point that would end the life of the almost college student who will now only shine bright after his death via the legacy this historical moment will leave behind.
How many Darren Wilson's do we have in police uniforms across our nation? How many psychological profiles are in place on a constant basis, with available treatment, so that our police force operates as it should...on the RIGHT side of the law?
