That it played out like an alternate reality was an effect of the potential defendant being a cop - and likely the realization that any chance of conviction would carry with it a condemnation of their entire law enforcement apparatus.
(you think that Brown could run 34mph.......what is he, a fucking demon?)
I was thinking a 100 yard dash could be run in 7 seconds. 10 seconds is more reasonable. 150 feet is half the distance of a 100 yard dash...so it can be ran in 5 seconds.
It may not have been immediately apparent that it was a lawful killing, but it was immediately apparent there would be reasonable doubt and only a lynch mob jury would convict.
