"Policeman murders young black male, I can't say that I was surprised when I read that headline." He describes how the details change, but ultimately it is the same story. People misperceive blacks, feeling the need to defend themselves and thus escalate the situation far beyond reality. Moreover, Prince EA interjects the pointed reminder that "'protect and serve' refers to us, not you." Officer Wilson describes Brown as a Hulk figure, intensely aggressive, and with a demon-like demeanor. Wilson further dehumanizes him, making Brown out to be like a bull rearing to charge ("Darren Wilson explains"). This prompted Wilson's tunnel vision focus which blinded him to the glaring disparity in strength between a professionally trained officer against an unarmed…

His breath was cold and shallow, a soft smoke escaping his mouth every time he managed to take a full lungful of air. The man stared downward at his dark, brown shaded hand, trembling softly. He caught ahold of himself, and focussed back at the window, slightly covered in a layer of frost. The drapes, normally a vibrant burgundy tone, were pulled away, allowing him to catch sight of the woman he was after. Ezra Lynn. So many times he had watcher the woman walk in and out of the old, redwood door, but never once did he make the move that he had been yearning for. Months have passed since he started stalking the girl, this young woman, deprived of hope or care. Yet, there she was, still sitting in her home, alone, mocking him. Mocking him with…

You pull to the side of the highway and pulls you out of your car and puts you in handcuffs and doesn't tell you why you’re in handcuffs.
