Darren Wilson thought Michael Brown
was “on something.” Or so says one of Wilson’s friends, describing
the police officer’s state of mind when he shot and killed the
unarmed black teenager on August 9 in Ferguson, Missouri. Some
commentators likewise have suggested that drugs made Brown behave
in a way that provoked the shooting. Jacob Sullum says such
speculation exaggerates the power of drugs, encourages the use of
excessive force, and revives ugly racial stereotypes.
