I was about to put that quote from Darren Wilson's Grand Jury Testimony into JoanMar's diary currently on the rec list, "Murderers need to get better script writers." But then I thought, no, this isn't just bad dialogue; and while it is an example of Jim Crow-style Giant Beast Negro Melodrama (as chauncydevega's currently rec'd diary accurately describes that facet of the completely rigged Grand Jury proceedings), it is more specifically, at its core, a very telling look into Darren Wilson's soul.
It's a kind of a "tell," in other words, a tipoff as to how the killer of Mike Brown thinks - and how the Prosecutor wanted the Grand Jury to think.
"The only way I can describe it, it looks like a demon, that’s how angry he looked. He comes back towards me again with his hands up."
"It."
Not just "the Other," but the completely malevolent, supernatural Other, not even worthy of the adjective "human." "It" had to be put down. And Wilson, by comic-book definition, is a hero for doing it.
And let's not overlook the next sentence in this section of his "testimony:"
He comes back towards me again with his hands up.
It's a wonder he didn't use the more accurate term, "with
its claws up," because that's what demons have for hands, as we all know.
And here's the kicker: with that short segment of demented storytelling, Wilson (along with the Prosecutor, McCulloch, along with those who undoubtedly coached the cop) is attempting to negate the "Hands up! Don't shoot!" meme that has sprung up from his terrible deed.
"Hands up!", in other words, is now a threatening signal rather than one of surrender - surrender being what the multiple eye-witnesses (other than the racist one the Prosecutor chose to base his presentation on) all stated that Brown was attempting to do when he was gunned down by Wilson. So here's the New American Police State meme:
"Hands Up? Shoot!"
How can the Department of Justice let this stand?
