Michael Brown is not a victim here, and having lived through three months of this cr@p, the cop is the only one I feel sorry for.
There was a danger to the public and the officer dealt with it. I have no problem with the outcome...I don't kinow why the route you chose would be 'better.'
“There was a danger to the public and the officer dealt with it.”
The “public” in this case, at least most of them, are cut from the same cloth as Brown.
Brown was a thug as are all of his peers. He (they) deserved jail time. Once Darren Wilson was assaulted the line became blurred between him being a cop and a victim of the assault. At that point he should have stepped back and let other uninvolved cops handle the situation.
It’s kind of like the wise old saying that I know you’ve heard, never punish your child when you are angry...
Why the route I suggest would have been better would be the further loss of lives and the property damage that has come from from this. Even Darren Wilson’s life has been turned upside down and will never be the same.
And the punk would have been incarcerated for the next 10 years or so. That would be the desired outcome.
