> The implication is that the cop felt his life was threatened........

He really may have. When you've come to believe that you're going into a war zone, you feel threatened right off the bat. The question, to me, is not whether Wilson was personally racist or that he shot Brown because he was black... it's because the racism is baked into the system and any cop who goes in there is thinking that the residents of the community are the enemy. You get a lot more trigger-happy when that's your starting point.
