EZRA KLEIN NEEDS TO GET OUT MORE

Ezra attacks officer Darren Wilson's grand jury testimony because Ezra is naive. He doesn't think an 18 year old black male would talk like this:
Brown's response to "what's wrong with the sidewalk?", as recorded by Wilson, is "fuck what you have to say." Remember, Wilson is a uniformed police officer, in a police car, and Brown is an 18-year-old kid who just committed a robbery. And when asked to use the sidewalk, Wilson says Brown replied, "Fuck what you have to say."

Wilson backs his car up and begins to open the door. "Hey, come here," he said to the kid who just cursed at him. He says Brown replied, "What the fuck you gonna do?" And then Brown, in Wilson's telling, slams the car door closed.

Brown sees him go for the gun. And he replies: "You're too much of a fucking pussy to shoot me."
