FERGUSON

The cops account made it out like brown and his friend were walking in the road and the cop was driving towards them, he stopped to tell them to get out of the road, they ignored him, so he drove up to them and tried to get out but brown slammed the door shut multiple times as the cop was trying to get out, then brown hit the cop, then the cop went for his gun and so did brown. Brown ran away for a few metres then the cop said stop or i'll shoot you, then brown stopped, moved his hand towards his waistband and tried to charge the cop, then he got shot.

I don't know if i believe that, but from that account it seems like he did the right thing. Just another incident where a simple camera would have solved this easily. Every cop should wear a camera, for their own and others safety.

If that is what Wilson wants to claim, would negate the claim of fear. If you think someone is dangerous you do not approach them from a seated position at a tactical disadvantage, which is what Wilson did.

With a position of power comes responsibility. Again you chose to believe Wilson and not the friend of Brown. What transpired at the car would have been avoided with an approach of distance. It is natural human behavior, outside of issues of right or wrong, that if someone invades your physical space, humans react to that invasion.

I believe Browns friend that Wilson was not polite about it. Cops instead of being trained to dominate should be trained to defuse a situation. This happened because of long term social conditioning and erodes the public trust of law enforcement.

You cannot simply blame the guilty or the innocent and blindly trust law enforcement. You have to address conditions, not to excuse the guilty, but to reduce the risk of it even getting to this point at all.

What Brown was accused of, upon approach, is nothing I have seen as a white teen and young adult on my street, at bars and frat parties. I have seen people assault cops unarmed and did so once myself. I did not end up dead, nor did any of the people I witnessed doing stupid crap around cops.

Instead of blindly protecting Wilson, as one case, you have to look at the bigger picture to understand why Wilson did what he did, and why Brown did what he did.

You make this about Wilson as a single event you are failing to take this sample into account with a longer history.
