And please don't play the 'woman' card with Democrats like me. We are tired of women being used this way, too smart to be 'emotionally manipulated' with the 'I care about women' card, it is insulting.
Now, back to reality. Wilson was a hulk at 6'4" who turned to jelly when he tried to grap a teenager, why we don't know, who needed a weapon to defend himself with, because frankly, as with all these cases, Zimmerman et al, it appears that these Law Enforcement people are COWARDS.
Here's some advice for armed, cowardly cops from now on.
When someone is just walking down the street and to YOU they look like DEMON/HULKs or whatever his fantasy was, don't grab them by the arm. That would be the logical thing to do.
Same with Zimmerman who stalked a perfectly innocent teenager but couldn't handle a fair fight which is why he too, NEEDS A WEAPON.
Most of the men I have known all my life, first, don't put themselves in these situations, and if someone else puts them there, they have been able to handle themselves, WITHOUT A WEAPON. Eg, my BF was able to talk a wanted, escaped man out of a woman's bedroom where he had her trapped, without a weapon, without hurting anyone, and escort him to the cops when they arrived.
I guess I associate with men who can handle themselves and probably avoid the cowardly types who need weapons to make themselves feel secure. Not that I never met that type, I did. They are dangerous, because they are frightened.
