Hands Up Narrative
Posted: Thu Oct 23, 2014 2:10 pm
So, everyone knows what this is about, Ferguson, Missouri and Michael Brown. Riots, traditional political race profiteers, political operatives, trolls, stoking the gullible and those who already 'know' what happened, looting (always a favorite past time), and all for what? Everyone loses but the opportunistic 'outsiders.'
The autopsy results are out (inappropriately leaked, likely to avoid riot stoking case dismissal surprise) and the autopsy and car forensics evidence is reported to show the trouble began to get serious when MB had his hands in the police car, inches away from the officer's gun when the gun was discharged. No matter how creative the supporters of the 'MB is a victim' narrative are, this will be difficult to spin into he was just minding his own business when he was shot with his hands up.
Of course the surrounding issues of illegal drugs, idiot teenagers who are barely more than children in adult bodies (MB 6'5" 290 pounds with an attitude, no respect for others - stole... cigars from a shop owner, walking down the middle of the street when there was a sidewalk), perception of police racial persecution (warranted or not), what could go wrong?
In my experience, whatever the notions of what is wrong and what needs to be fixed, it is never ever, ever 'The one thing.'
