Giuliani: Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson Should Be 'Commended' For Shooting Michael Brown

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/12/rudy-giuliani-darren-wilson-commended_n_6857086.html

Citing a section of the Justice Department's scathing report of racial bias within the Ferguson Police Department, Rudy Giuliani said former Officer Darren Wilson should be commended for shooting unarmed teenager Michael Brown in August.

During an interview on Thursday, the former New York City mayor said Wilson acted dutifully and was vindicated by the report's findings that there was not enough evidence to conclude that Brown had his hands up before he was shot.

"What happened in Ferguson is that a man committed a robbery, attempted to assault a police officer, and the police officer -- to save his life -- shot him," Giuliani told Fox News. "The police officer did his duty. The officer should be commended for what he did."

Far from embracing the report, Giuliani attempted to cast doubt on the more damning sections, claiming that there was little evidence to prove racism within the department.

In whatever sense the demented, delusional garbage that spouts out of "NounVerb911"'s mouth can be called real.

Time to send America's Crazy Uncle off to the State Home for the Bewildered.
