Can't read it without subbing, which I would not do in the next two hundred years.

Did they publish his home address?

Is there anything salient in it?

Weird, I can read it and I don't subscribe.

No

Oh, a fair amount of background on Wilson, the area, the police department and also some about the incident. A lot of it is about the perceptions of various people. Interesting, definitely.

It came right up for me.

Although I didn't read all the way through it, I appreciated the beginning in which the article humanized the cop. Frankly, because of my own anti-lefty-media biases, I was pleasantly surprised. There's just not enough humanization of all the people caught in the middle of these dramas when people quickly choose sides in these debates.

The message was that I had read my allotted number of "free" articles.

I won't tell your conservative friends that you have been reading the New Yorker, DF....nice summation by Owen--the article was almost Rashomon-like with its different perspectives...I had the the same initial response as RJ did about Wilson being humanized-- he's a person, not a two-dimensional caricature (albeit perhaps being subject to cultural influences/forces/conflicts that are somewhat beyond his control)
