The officer who killed Michael Brown thinks police racism is a thing of the past
Darren Wilson, the former Ferguson, Missouri, police officer who fatally shot Michael Brown, an unarmed black man, in August 2014, believes systemic racism is a thing of the past. Wilson, who has been cleared of wrongdoing in Michael Brown's death, gave The New Yorker a rare interview in a profile published Monday:
"I am really simple in the way that I look at life. What happened to my great-grandfather is not happening to me. I can't base my actions off what happened to him. We can't fix in 30 minutes what happened 30 years ago. We have to fix what's happening now. That's my job as a police officer. I’m not going to delve into people's life-long history and figure out why they're feeling a certain way, in a certain moment." [The New Yorker]
Wilson also admitted that he hasn't read the Justice Department's report on systemic racism in the Ferguson police department because he doesn't want to "keep living in the past."
Another striking detail from The New Yorker profile: Mike McCarthy, a field-training officer who helped guide Wilson in a previous job, conceded that the escalation of Wilson's confrontation with Brown probably could have been avoided. Check out the whole profile here. Julie Kliegman

Based on this profile, Darren Wilson hasn’t learned much in the past year
The New Yorker has published a profile of Darren Wilson, the Ferguson, Mo., police officer who shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown almost exactly one year ago.
While the piece doesn’t reveal much new information about Brown’s death, the resulting protests, or the grand jury’s decision not to indict Wilson last November, it does present a portrait of a man who opts not to confront reality at every turn. Here are some quotes from the profile that demonstrate that mindset.
On whether he thinks racism, and the legacy of past racism, affects young black people in the present:
“[Older people] who experienced [overt racism in past decades], and were mistreated, have a legitimate claim,” [Wilson] told me. “Other people don’t.” I asked him if he thought that young people in North County and elsewhere used this legacy as an excuse. “I think so,” he replied.
“I am really simple in the way that I look at life,” Wilson said. “What happened to my great-grandfather is not happening to me. I can’t base my actions off what happened to him.”
On how he explained televised broadcasts of the Ferguson protests to his stepson:
“I said, ‘Well, I had to shoot somebody.’ And he goes, ‘Well, why did you shoot him? Was he a bad guy?’ I said, ‘Yeah, he was a bad guy.’”
On the kind of restaurants he and his wife go to now that he’s trying to keep a low profile:
“We try to go somewhere—how do I say this correctly?—with like-minded individuals,” [Wilson] said. “You know. Where it’s not a mixing ? .”
On whether he reflects on what kind of person Michael Brown was:
“You do realize that his parents are suing me?” [Wilson] said. “So I have to think about him.” He went on, “Do I think about who he was as a person? Not really, because it doesn’t matter at this point. Do I think he had the best upbringing? No. Not at all.”

I don't put Michael Brown in the category of real police abuse victims. It's disrespectful to people like Eric Garner.
-
Said when he goes out, it's only around like minded people, not a melting ? ....... that's low key for other white racist ..... smh
-
Wtf? I wish I hadn't read this ? . Just ? me off.
-
He's lying. That's the bottom line. You can't be a cop there and not see racism. ? him.
You know what, a couple months from now these crazy, lying clowns on here will be posting saying that I defended Wilson. -
When we're all ready to stop whining and start fighting somebody (politically, financially, and physically as a unit) let me know.
We already have the awareness now we need the unity, discipline and action. -
The irony of him not thinking racism is a problem currently is that racism bought him his new life
-
He need to go somewhere. ? was basically forgotten about but he comes out with this ? . GTFOH!
-
I’m not going to delve into people's life-long history and figure out why they're feeling a certain way, in a certain moment.
^^^if that aint the most disgusting depraved racist comment
Darren Wilson Hates black ppl -

This dude is benefiting from white privilege and white supremacy but has the gall to say what he said. He's the very embodiment of systematic racism. They covered up for him and protected him while shaming the victim. But of course he's playing dumb.

SMH @ people hiding my post. Michael Brown's situation was nothing like Eric Garner. Dude robbed a store, and then got into with a cop. The evidence is the evidence. Garner was straight up murdered in cold blood. -

Mike Brown got shot many feet away. Not to mention the Ferguson PD are racist as ? . Many of its memebers posted in that website chimp out and left his body 6 hours on the ground. You really are a blind idiot. -
Well I never said the Ferguson PD wasn't racist, or that Mike Brown's case wasn't up in the air. However, we have evidence pointing to dude charging, and witnesses saying the same. To top it off, Mike Brown had just robbed a store, so I don't like his case getting lumped in with people like Eric Garner, Freddie Grey, or Trayvon who really were murdered in cold-blood.PapaDoc223 wrote: »ThaNubianGod wrote: »ThaNubianGod wrote: »I don't put Michael Brown in the category of real police abuse victims.

Wilson also admitted that he hasn't read the Justice Department's report on systemic racism in the Ferguson police department because he doesn't want to "keep living in the past."
So he doesn't acknowledge the proven systematic racism now bc he doest want to “keep living in the past" ....what kind of logic is that?
On the kind of restaurants he and his wife go to now that he’s trying to keep a low profile:
“We try to go somewhere—how do I say this correctly?—with like-minded individuals,” [Wilson] said. “You know. Where it’s not a mixing ? .”
So him and his ? ? only go to places with other honkies?
“Do I think about who he was as a person? Not really, because it doesn’t matter at this point. Do I think he had the best upbringing? No. Not at all.”
Takes a teens life and admits to not even thinking about him or who he was...
this interview is the epitome of whats wrong with white America
And how come this video was not a factor and was ignored?

Why, after all this time do you idiots still act like the Police Chief himself didnt admit through his ow fat ass mouth that Darren Wilson knew NOTHING about any store robbery before Mike Brown was harassed in the middle of the street?
How the ? is that still mysteriously slipping everybody's mind? -

Exactly. And if Darren Wilson really was responding to a 911 call from that store, then how come this 911 tape was never released to the public? Cause there isn't one. -
