I have to ask another question for you I-Ching:

You just got a 911 emergency dispatch call and are headed to that call location with all haste —

Why then are you wasting time stopping 2 kids in the street and having a battle over whether to walk there or not???

There is an emergency 911 call on the table that you are supposed to be responding to — hop to it.

As far as he knew those two had nothing to do with the emergency dispatch, and if it later turned out that they did, he now knew where they were and where they were headed and could have gone there with backup with an entirely different result.

Where am I wrong???

Brown didn’t look like a “kid”. Where do you think that he was in the street when he was stopped? Could it be that he was in the middle? Partially obstructing traffic?

[trisham]

they nonetheless insist that Brown had been doing nothing wrong except walking in the middle of the street with his friend before being violently accosted by Wilson “for no reason” other than jaywalking.

****************

He was in the middle of the street according to witnesses.
