15. here's my take after watching him standing next to nixon

Aug 2014

he was not on board with nixon's comments and decisions but was there anyway

he was imported to be the black face of the police. once he was there, they turned 180 to what they were again after only one day of good behavior that this man managed to get from the crowds. I believe he is the fall guy for what they will be doing. Nixon keeps the redneck vote by putting a show with this man on and gets cover for provoking what he hopes is a riot so everyone can be off the hook for assassinating a child. They are provoking riots to help cover the fact that they murdered a kid. They attack michael's character, put a black face on their scam and when it goes to hell Johnson gets the fall.

I think he tried but they won't let him. I think he stays because he might be able to help somewhere, somehow. I don't believe he can. watch the press conference where tricky nixon speaks. His face and manner says it all. I think he's afraid to leave. I imagine he fights when he can but its a done deal.

Something apocolyptic is coming if we don't watch out.
