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.

How exactly was Wilson supposed to know that Brown was dangerous before Brown started punching him? Because he was black?

With a position of power comes responsibility. Again you chose to believe Wilson and not the friend of Brown.

I don't think you read my post properly.

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.

That doesn't even make sense. Invasion of physical space? He drove up to the men walking in the road, rolled down his window and told them to get out of the road. I fail to see how that is invasion of physical space. And even if this was so, was brown justified in hitting the cop? We know there was some sort of struggle because there was brusing on Wilsons face.

I believe Browns friend that Wilson was not polite about it.

Right! So we shoudln't listen to cops if they are rude to us! Brown was totally justified in hitting Wilson because Wilson was rude!

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.

And I agree with that, but you don't know how it went down, nobody does.

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.

Well going on what the cop said, if there was a 190 pound 6 foot 4 man charging me, in full awareness that I was a cop and pointing a gun at him, I would shoot him too.

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.

Again, I didn't actually offer an opinion, you need to read my post again.

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

Same again.
