the officer tried to put him in the car for not being cooperative or whatever his reasoning was
*********************************
Just sayin’ ..... Brown knew he’d done something wrong & everyone can argue how serious that was ... some say shoplifting, some say robbery, doesn’t matter, really. He knew he’d done something wrong and a policeman was talking to him & generally in those circumstances, behavior isn’t that of a totally innocent person. Perhaps he broke into a sweat, wouldn’t look at the officer, got belligerent, who knows. He might have had the Swisher Sweets on him at that point, too - evidence of his robbery. I would bet money this policeman’s “spidey sense” (6 year veteran) was going off that something wasn’t right with this kid as evidenced by the way he was acting .... it would not be unheard of for him to put MB in his car until he figured out what was going on. The robbery & the shooting ARE totally related, IMO ... even if the cop didn’t know ... MB did. I think the cop was in more danger at that point than MB because he didn’t know what he was dealing with .... certainly wasn’t an “innocent child” who had nothing to hide & no motive to ‘break bad’ if he thought evidence might be found and/or he might be arrested.
I haven’t noticed you on this forum before. I like your analysis. Keep writing!
