In reply to the discussion: I work with teens Michael Brown's age and the number one rule is [View all]brer cat
(24,756 posts)Just about everything Wilson did goes against what I have always assumed was proper protocol. The lady I talked to certainly reinforced my view, but as I said, I don't know if times have changed that much in recent years. Wilson is an asshole and no doubt has major problems including racism, but we all know idiots like that. What bothers me more, is everyone in authority just taking his account of events and NO ONE seems to have said, hold it...he made some mistakes...we just don't do things that way. Even if they weren't willing to hang him for killing Brown, it seems they would have wanted the record clear that he didn't follow proper procedures. Because now we are left with the conclusion that in Ferguson, and possibly all of St. Louis area, it is open season on anyone who makes a LEO unhappy for any reason. I can't understand anyone in authority allowing that conclusion to be drawn.
Thanks for your input, Mike.
