The point of my comment was the police were not there protecting the clerk. If the angelic Michael Brown had walked on the sidewalk he would have escaped notice by Officer Wilson.

The article is about collecting revenue by fining people for petty offenses. Like speeding tickets. Or selling loosies in NYC. My comment was directed at those who bully people for revenue for the State.

For the record, I believe Officer Wilson is a model policeman, and the incident was the very definition of a good shooting.

I agree with what you wrote, but you might not have read the facts of the case. While the cop did tell them to get to the sidewalk, he could clearly see the guy met the detailed BOLO down to the bright yellow socks with marijuana leaves printed on them. The perp was gonna be stopped.
