I mentioned in another post that this is one of the questions I would have expected a Prosecutor seeking an indictment against a Defendant to ask if that person said the victim "looked like a demon."
(For those not following closely, while explaining why he had to keep shooting at the unarmed Michael Brown, Darren Wilson explained in his testimony that Michael Brown quote "looked like a demon" which was part of why Darren Wilson was in fear for his life.)
I would also have liked to have asked how Darren Wilson knows what demons look like, and if he could describe what type of demon he thought Michael Brown was.
Then I would have asked if he was using any medications or performance enhancing drugs, prescription or otherwise during the time preceding the incident.
I have never personally seen a demon so I really want to know more about this.

(10,559 posts)I have regularly voiced my opposition against guns in the hands of people who "hear voices instructing them to kill."
I am now going to add "or see Demons that need to be shot."

(10,559 posts)And in a Grand Jury, the only person who could object would have been the Prosecutor, who apparently thinks seeing Demons is perfectly normal police behavior.

(1,423 posts)If Wilson sees imaginary demonic possession I guess that means he can read minds and can judge anyone. It could have been one of my sons and if it was, then I would shout it loudly.

(2,150 posts)This was nothing more than a cop and a prosecutor sitting down, figuring out what the cop can be charged with, and how to dodge the charge. The cop sat there and recited this made up story that was full of code words that were in the law he was to be charged with. He sat there and claimed he was in fear for his life - the prosecutor carefully framed the presentation to make Brown to be a raging bull on pot, and to get the cop off. Even though the law under which he was charged was ruled unconstitutional.

Follow up questions for an investigation into shutting them down.....

And then, of course, his gun.
Sounds to me, playing arm-chair Freudian here, that Mister Wilson has some masculinity issues.

(51,311 posts)Not one TOKEN expression of regret, even if couched in "Sorry I HAD to use my gun" terms?

(10,559 posts)I see what you mean. So, he is just a guy who "sees demons" enough to know that Michael Brown "looked like a demon."
What causes that? I know some bipolar folk with these types of issues, but they are usually manic at that point....?
