President Barack Obama's mentor and Harvard Law professor Charles Ogletree said Darren Wilson, the officer who reportedly shot and killed Michael Brown, should be arrested.
"I think the first thing that needs to happen [is] we need to arrest Officer Wilson," he said on Meet the Press. "He shot and killed a man, shot him multiple times. And he's walking free. No one knows anything about him, no one knows why he did it. We need to have that done, number one."
Ogletree made his remarks while agreeing with substitute host Andrea Mitchell that nobody really has all of the facts regarding the shooting. Witnesses have said the officer gunned down Michael Brown in cold blood after Brown put his hands up to surrender. Another witness claimed he saw Brown "double back" and charge at the officers before he was gunned down.
Ogletree also said that the residents of Ferguson, Missouri, should learn from Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) and engage in non-violent protests. Ogletree described Lewis as someone who "was beaten on the Edmund Pettus Bridge" and "was a young, nonviolent person, and still believes in nonviolence."
"I think that his message has to be listened to by not just seniors but young people who were wondering, 'What am I going to do?'" Ogletree said. "Because they're coming out. They're very angry. And they're going to be mad until something happens to make that change."

Our fellow Freeper seemed to be in agreement with Ogletree at the time.
Seems like that segment of the population has "adorned" their heads with such thing for decades. OTOH, maybe those dudes behind MLK may just be taking a quick break from their jobs down at the bakery.
Right. Isn’t that Brown’s felonious accomplice? Some witness.
Arrest Charles Ogletree!
Is that Muslim head attire on Prof. Ogletree?
At least they had jobs then. Now they just sponge off society.
We have Vietnamese that cannot speak a word of English that come to the USA and make a better life for themselves. Other Asian cultures do too. Latinos, Indians, and every other race of people come here and make a better life for themselves. For some reason, blacks don’t. They would rather complain.
“Why would a Harvard Law Professor advocate such a thing?”
Because blacks hate whites and anyone else who isn’t black. Blacks are the most racist group in America.
MLK, Jr. was down with the struggle against Whitey, too. They really are following in his footsteps.
I think, at least I hope that Jim was being sarcastic.

Granted.... so take it with a grain of salt.
Perfesser Ogerman has no idea what actually happened. He hasn’t been privy to any of the evidence, other than the fact that Saint Michael engaged in a violent robbery/assault of a minority victim minutes before being shot by the cops.
Ogletree is a typical racist, no different than Jackson, Sharpton and the New Black Panthers.
Listened to the voices on the recording. It’s pretty obvious they are saying what they think happened not what really happened.
So the question is on what grounds should Wilson be arrested? Doing his job? Self-defense?
Very true...
However, start listening at 6:30 seconds. There is one eye witness that says, Michael was running towards the police officer. It’s kind of hard to hear, but that could clear the officer?
Don’t the police have there camera’s running in front of their cars for evidence? Where is the police cam?
It’s fascinating, yet disturbing, to see people
become the very things they profess to hate.
