the wilson case is an interesting one. altho he was cleared of the shooting, which i expected him to be, the whole incident touched off all that happened since, and not just in ferguson.
it's started a lot more dialogue about the whole issue, which is a good thing. things have been going down the wrong path too often in regards to crime and punishment, as well as us seeing that altho crime is down significantly, you really can't tell that by looking at police departments and prisons. you certainly can't tell when you see the over-militarization of our police departments. it's more control of the peasantry it seems.
