Actually he goes too far, but some of what he says is true. But...
I don’t believe racism was involved here... The outcome would have been the same regardless of race. If a white person had assaulted a cop this way, they would be dead too. so the racism part is pure B.S.
However the cop could have reacted differently and the outcome would have been better all around. Cops not only this one but cops all over the country have a warrior mentally. It’s not necessary and it’s not helpful.
How could it have ended better? Consider this...
The perp. assaulted the cop through the open driver’s side window and than ran. The cop certainly had reason to fear for his life during the assault and if he had shot him dead at that point that would be fine.
If the cop had stayed in his vehicle and radioed for backup the hoodlum would be alive probably and facing 10 years in the pen for assaulting the cop (and robbing the store). It’s not like they wouldn’t have got him, he had no where to hide he would stand out in a crowd.
That’s not what happened though... Our brave young warrior with his service revolver got out of the car in hot pursuit. At that point somebody was going to die, and it wasn’t going to be the cop.
Wouldn’t it have been a better outcome had the cop just called in for backup? Better for the cop, better for the thug and better for the community? Of course it would, but that wasn’t an option with the mindset of police today. They cant loose a battle even if it means it costs them the war.
That needs to change... Like I said, race really wasn’t involved here. The outcome would have been the same had the perp been white or brown or yellow.
He called for back up. Back up showed up a few minutes later, by which time, the whole thing was finished.
“Wouldn’t it have been a better outcome had the cop just called in for backup?”
Evidently you don’t believe in reading the evidence of the grand jury before you engage in prejudicial assumptions and accusations, because the evidence states unequivocally that Officer Darren Wilson had already called for backup. The radio call logs and other evidence also reveal how there was already a problem with the police and police dispatcher having more calls for police assistance than there were police units available to answer those calls at the time. So, Officer Darren Wilson was obligated to determine who these suspects were and what they were doing in the middle of the street where they were obstructing the traffic, before Michael Brown assaulted police officer Darren Wilson as he was seated in his Tahoe police vehicle.
Given the fact the suspect, Michael Brown, had just committed an assault and battery upon a police officer with shots fired in an attempted murder of that police officer and was also a suspect in the robbery of the convenience-liquor store; Officer Darren Wilson no longer had any discretion to allow the suspect to leave the scene of the crime. Had Officer Darren Wilson allowed the suspect, Michael Brown, to leave the scene of the crime and Brown injured or killed another person, Officer Darren Wilson would have been responsible for not forestalling Michael Brown’s violence against that innocent victim.
Furthermore, you fail to note how a later altercation between law enforcement officers versus Michael Brown and Dorian Johnson could just as well have resulted in the deaths of Michael Brown and Dorian Johnson. Given how Michael Brown is the stepson of a Bloods gang member, you have no way of knowing whether or not any law enforcement officers and/or innocent bystanders could have been injured or killed by Michael Brown and/or gang members armed with firearms in a later encounter. Today’s news reports two FBI Special Agents were shot and injured while assisting Universal City police to serve an arrest warrant only 5 miles away from last night’s violent rioting in Ferguson. So far as you know, Officer Darren Wilson may have saved innocent lives by following normal police procedure and apprehending the robbery suspect before the suspect and suspect’s gang member associates could take more lethal action against law enforcement and the pulic in general.
