Recently a student at the University of Kansas, Shelby Lawson, wrote this article. It is all about the Michael Brown case and clearing up any questions we may have had about it. This article made me completely re evaluate my stance on the case. It brings up various different points I thought to be true and proves them to be false using the actual grand jury transcript. The ability for this one girl to do all this research and completely change the story that we all probably thought to be true is not only astounding but courageous.
Even before I read this article, I was always on Michael Brown's side of this argument or even 'mystery'. I figured that Wilson was just racist cop trying to cover up what he had really done and what actually happened. After reading this article, my beliefs and thoughts were confirmed. It shows how much the media really doesn't tell us or show us, and the fact that there was so many lies going around to protect what Wilson had done. The fact that they were a similar size, Brown was 148 ft away when he was shot, and there were 6 eye witnesses with the exact same story that he flat out said "I don't have a gun", really help me understand what actually occured and how appauling it is that people could actually be on Wilson's side of this argument. I feel like this article should be a lot more well known and recognized and it would really change how a lot of people feel about this particular situation. Thanks Sam for finding this and sharing!
