Ok lets make it simple.
Our law enforcement mentality is bent on shoot first and assume guilt.
Our economics suck, and it pits otherwise agreeable middle class and poor people against each other. Poverty is treated like a crime rather than a condition.
Our gun fetish society pits law enforcement against society, creating needless fear between the two.
Humans with darker skin tones are affected worse by economics and arrest. ON AVERAGE, the climate under the similar conditions, light skin people are MORE LIKELY, even if resisting, to make it to the back of a police car with minimal to no injury. Light skin people are going to be punished less harshly by our courts.
Now if you do not accept that, then you are part of the problem. If you do not want it to be about race, then you have to accept that it is a problem in the first place to fix the problem.
THE REAL ISSUE is the economy and male testosterone. If everyone wants to fix it, then race cannot be taken out of the issue until it is accepted both as intentional and unintentional.
That is as simple as I can make it. Now please stop distracting people with bullshit. Brown was not allowed to be a typical teenager doing stupid shit. Wilson was not small himself, and if he had kept his distance instead of playing Barney bad ass with a badge, Brown would not be dead and Wilson would not even be under scrutiny.
Wilson was in the position of power. Wilson had the gun. Now if we want less events like this, and we dont want Brown dead, and we want cops to go home safely, then you cant simply blame Brown. That is a narrow view and utter bullshit for the reasons I stated before.
