“On a warm Wednesday evening here in late August, six minutes from where a Ferguson police officer had shot and killed an unarmed man three years prior, an armed man was pacing in front of his mother’s home, yelling at the cops. His left hand was on a gun in his waistband and his right hand was holding a cellphone.
“’F**KING SHOOT ME!” he screamed. ‘JUST F**KING SHOOT ME!’”
