This Is Why We're Mad About the Shooting of Mike Brown

45. because I think a story needs to make some sense

"Dorian Johnson said he was walking with Brown in the middle of the street when a police car pulled up. The officer told the teens to use the sidewalk, according to Johnson.

After an exchange of words, the officer shot Brown even after he raised his hands in the air, Johnson said.

The officer "shot again, and once my friend felt that shot, he turned around and put his hands in the air," Johnson told KMOV. "He started to get down and the officer still approached with his weapon drawn and fired several more shots.""

That story simply does not make any sense.

Even a racist psycho should have more sense than to act like that. To shoot a person over "an exchange of words" and then to keep shooting? In broad daylight? In front of witnesses?

That only works in some sort of bizarro world where the whole police department and the FBI is part of the Klan, or maybe goblins like in the book "Twilight Eyes". That does not fit any world that makes sense to me, although I suppose it could happen, somewhere.

But I am more likely to believe a story that fits the world as I know it, as I understand it.

Because in the world I know, people often make up stories. So a story with a lot of holes in it, is one I am gonna doubt, a story without any sort of logic to it.
