Why do we take the bait? [View all]
It doesn't matter if Michael Brown stole cigarillos or not. It doesn't matter if it was shoplifting or robbery. It doesn't matter if he grabbed the clerk by his shirt or this throat.
What matters is that AN UNARMED MAN WAS KILLED BY A POLICEMAN.
We liberals suck at staying on message, mostly because we see shades of gray where conservatives see black and white. Our message should be that AN UNARMED MAN WAS KILLED BY A POLICEMAN.
If anyone wants to talk about theft, say AN UNARMED MAN WAS KILLED BY A POLICEMAN.
If someone wants to talk about strong armed robbery, say AN UNARMED MAN WAS KILLED BY A POLICEMAN.
Do not argue about whether or not Michael Brown was a wonderful young man, a 'gentle giant', an aspiring college student because this is taking their bait. When someone says "Michael Brown", say AN UNARMED MAN WAS KILLED BY A POLICEMAN.
