Yup. Officer Wilson really trampled these guys rights. He asked them to get out of the street.
Is Unarmed Teen a formal Title now that must be uttered every time the person is mentioned?
Personally I think the opinions of idiots like this cop are unworthy of wasting a lot of time on.
Instead I would like to see conservatives push a demand for Jay Nixon to retract and apologize for his idiotic statement about prosecuting Darren Wilson without benefit of trial. Let Nixon face the wrath of the mob he helped create.
Note that in Nazi Germany those cops were working for the Central government.
This time it is the Central Government that opposes the local cops.
“Even though it might sound harsh and impolitic, here is the bottom line: if you don’t want to get shot, obey the constitution and understand you work for me.”
I was in a car and my passenger decided to mouth off to a cop when we got pulled over (without cause, I might add, as I knew the downhill section of the road was a speed trap).
Believe me, his mouthing off didn’t help things much.
Right or wrong, the thing to keep in mind is that a policeman must always be alert to the possibility of being attacked, wounded or killed in every encounter.
Every time a policeman leaves his home and tells his loved ones goodbye he knows it may be the last time.
Everyone they meet is a potential threat and they have no immediate way of telling who is and who is not ready to physially assault them or shoot them.
A LEO cannot just assume you are a nice guy who is ignoring his order and approaching him just to have a conversation.
The Michael Brown incident is a good example.
When the LEO stopped him he had no idea that Brown would go berserk and try to kill him.
We hear endless wailing about the “unarmed teen getting ready to go to college”, but Brown was armed with his size and weight and surprised the officer by attacking him while the officer was at a disadvantage sitting behind the steering wheel.
For a few minutes he held the officer’s life in his hands.
Brown wasn’t trying to wrest the gun from the officer to go target shooting at the indoor range next Saturday.
But he's right.
