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

50. "a lot of people will stick up for them"

Except that there are plenty of cops who have gone to prison, or been fired.

My own easy prediction is that there is no way he comes out of this untouched and alive, that his life even goes on as normal, much less becomes better. In his best case scenario, if he is exonerated by officialdom, he can still expect to be pilloried in the media and threatened by vigilantes. Some people are already sure of his guilt and NOTHING, not even a video of the incident would change their minds. And since there's no video, he's got nothing.

Can he go back to work with his name cleared? Hell no, not ever gonna happen even if his name is cleared. His life as he knew it as he lived it last week, is already over. No sane person would want to be in his shoes.

Again, I am operating under the, perhaps unwarranted assumption, that most people are basically sane.
