Sleepless in Ferguson.

Well the verdict is in, and, surprise, once again a police officer has killed a suspect and walked away without any charges.. Was Darren Wilson guilty? I don't know. I do know six bullets is a lot to bring down a teen-ager.  And I always wonder why cops spend so much time at the gun range when they never seem to be capable of disabling someone by shooting them in the leg or the arm. I also know there are stories every week of some innocent person dying at the hands of trigger-happy policeman, (Yesterday a Cleveland cop killed a 12-year-old boy who had a pellet gun. You can be sure this stupid cop will never be punished.) Of course the lazy news media will be regurgitating this story for a week. This morning ABC News, which is probably the most error-prone network made what I consider a major usage blunder. Their announcer said in describing the vandalism in Ferguson, "And look what they did to this Walgreen's." There is no "they". This reporter is obviously a racist who thinks of these outraged individuals as a single mob. What he should have said, "And look what was done to this Walgreen's."
