re: #83 Great White Snark
I get Trayvon Martins mom. But that is such a different kind of case than Michael Brown. Lots of evidence to show what a real fight there was between Michael Brown and Officer Darren Wilson. Very mixed feelings here, partly influenced by a book a friend did that really made the case Wilson had good reason to act as he did as the fight progressed.
I think the legacy from Michael Brown has become less about the specific event of his death, it has become about other things: The too-cozy relationships between cops and prosecutors, broken windows style policing, using warrants and fines and bail to fund small and separate policing divisions.
