wikipedia fails again

I needed to look up Darden's bibliography, NOT HERE. What the actual fuck. Wikipedia is getting more and more useless every day. Google told me more in a few seconds than this page. Thanks for nothing. 98.180.43.21 (talk) 12:32, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone include info on Darden's prior history with prosecuting corrupt cops, and also his post-O.J. acting career?

  • The line "Seemingly overwhelmed by the defense team, and often fumbling objections and the introduction of evidence, Darden may have been intimidated by Johnnie Cochran, a significant figure in the African-American community." clearly shows a non-impartial view of Darden's work, introduces unsupported conjecture and even appears to take a pot shot at a dead man. I am standing by my removal of it.
Hey untitled, perhaps you're unaware of what's been written about Cochran, including by his ex-wife? Cochran was diagnosed by a psychiatric professional with narcissistic personality disorder. He was the overachiever type. He had an enormous amount of influence within that community and outside of it. Cochran intimidated a lot of people, including some of those most close to him. So maybe you shouldn't pontificate on a subject you're clearly ignorant on. We're not talking about Thurgood Marshall or Learned Hand here, but someone who did a lot of good but also could be extremely selfish and short-sighted because of his need to dominate and win. 98.180.43.21 (talk) 12:32, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
