Michael Brown And The Phantom Menace Of Drug-Crazed Blacks

Forbes Magazine - Darren Wilson thought Michael Brown was “on something.” Or so says one of Wilson’s friends, describing the police officer’s state of mind when he shot and killed the unarmed black teenager on August 9 in Ferguson, Missouri. “He really thinks he was on something, because he just kept coming,” the friend, identified only as “Josie,” said during a phone call to a St. Louis radio show on Monday afternoon. “It was unbelievable.”

Earlier that same day, Fox News commentator Jim Pinkerton made a similar suggestion. “Eyewitnesses said that Brown was charging the cops,” Pinkerton said on the channel’s Happening Now show. “We’ll know more with a blood test.
