http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/world/race+issue+Ferguson+officer+shot+Michael+Brown+shows+remorse/11267562/story.html In language that commentators described as racially coded, Wilson told The New Yorker he tries to take his wife and baby daughter out in public only to places with "like-minded individuals” and avoids what he called "a mixing pot.” View Quote He also forcefully denied that he looked at the world through a racial lens while he was a police officer. "Everyone is so quick to jump on race. It’s not a race issue,” he said when talking about the relationship between police and black communities. In the article, the 29-year-old Wilson said he did not spend much time thinking about the young man he killed in Ferguson. "Do I think about who he was as a person? Not really, because it doesn’t matter at this point,” he said. "I only knew him for those 45 seconds in which he was trying to kill me, so I don’t know.” In the interview, Wilson suggested that some younger black people were using race and America’s racial history as an excuse for their own problems. "People who experienced that, and were mistreated, have a legitimate claim,” he said. "Other people don’t.” He said that some black youths were from "a different culture,” describing it as a "pre-gang culture, where you are just running in the streets — not worried about working in the morning, just worried about your immediate gratification.” ETA: Micheal Brown's mother responds to New Yorker article: http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/08/05/michael-browns-mother-on-darren-wilson-hes-evil/ In an interview with Al Jazeera America, the mother of Michael Brown has condemned the recent comments of Darren Wilson, the former police officer who killed her son last year in Ferguson, Mo. "His acts were devilish,” McSpadden said, "and we definitely know he didn’t have the right upbringing, because those are words that you just don’t use, especially after you took somebody’s life and you know you had no reason to. You had no reason to do that.” "Michael was definitely a leader,” she said. "He was a big brother, so he was a protector. He was the first grandson, so he was a provider to elderly people that needed help across the street, bringing in their groceries, very respectable. He also was a first nephew for his aunts and uncle, so any kids that they had, he was like the big brother role model. He was the role model.” View Quote |

HE DID THE RIGHT THING. No reason to show remorse for that. And fuck the race baiters.

So water is still wet? Maybe misinterpreted, what I mean to say is good for him saving his life and his babies father, and his wifes husband. The alternative was being killed by a criminal.
|
|
What the ever-loving fuck made him want to give an interview. It's now racial code language to avoid a demographic that expressed wild-eyed demands for your death.
He owes no remorse. The world is better off with Michael Brown feeding worms. |
|
He killed the person who was trying to kill him. Nothing but good wishes for Wilson.
|
|
It's a shame that telling the truth is so "explosive". He's telling it exactly as it is.
|
|
So much for him being concerned about his safety from having his name released. Super smart to do an interview with a NY publication and then act in any way that isn't full of liberal white guilt and progressive ideals.
He's right, he shouldn't feel any remorse, but he's pretty stupid for doing such and interview. |
|
Remorse is synonymous with regret. Why would one regret a justified shooting that saved his own life? That would be tantamount to saying, "I wish I would have let him kill me."
|
|
Just a shame that he lost his career. I don't think he's quite on the level of George Zimmerman when it comes to being "unemployable". But Wilson probably only knows being an LEO and know he's back to square one.
|
|
He's not feeling the white guilt for exercising his white privilege of self-defense. will not work out for him...

|
Nor should he show remorse.
Michael Brown was human refuse who deserved to die and earned every bullet he got. I hope Officer Wilson doesn't deal with too much psychological baggage. I hope Michael Browns family gets to re-live images of their spawn's carcass every single day. |
|
He seems like a pretty smart, professional guy and not some tobacco spitting hick on a ghetto safari.
I'm actually surprised he still lives in the area (assuming that's true) and not working a lobster boat in Maine. |

Life ruined for doing his job, surviving his job and protecting the public from a thug. USA USA USA.
|
|
Can't argue with a single one of his statements in that article

Of the white-on-black holocaust. |

|
He should feel bad about shooting the guy that had just committed a robbery and then tried to take his gun? I don't think so. |
|
Why should he feel remorse for saving his life?
"Coded words"? I dont blame him. I dont exactly hang out in "rich and vibrant" crowds either. They are to unpredictable. I wouldn't hang out with a bunch of white bikers or juggalos for the same reasons. |

View Quote Well it's not like Wilson is going to head to a predominantly black restaurant just for shits and giggles. That's just stupid. If a black 20 year old in the 60s said he wasn't going to go to a sawdust joint in an all-white county everybody would say, "well duh". |

Why should he show ANY remorse?
I saw a number a couple of days ago that showed that since Saint Skittles got shot (While trying to beat George Zimmerman's head into the ground) that 33,000 (Thirty Three Thousand!) young Black men were shot to death by-wait-for-it,other young Black men Obviously there's a problem here that needs to be addressed and it has "White Privilege" written all over it! Fuckin' Whitey |

The news agencies that dragged his name through the dirt should be held legally liable for the full amount of money that he lost over the course of his LEO career.

lol at coded language.
Jesus. Yeah...pretty sure if I was him, I wouldn't be heading out to certain areas of town. Hell...I don't now. It's not because I'm racist, it's because there's a strong correlation to crime and demographics. Even more so for him. I might get a funny look...he'd probably get pummeled once they recognized him. And then his death celebrated by millions for the vigilante "justice." That's the awesome society we live in. |

Remember when his chief apologized...
Talk about throwing someone in front of the bus prematurely. I hate how the media corrupts the facts and the hoi polloi are too stupid to see it. |
