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."

Always easier to blame the white cops than actually look at the root causes of why the thug thought he should attack a cop, rob a store and then have riots and loot.
Never mind the decades of dysfunctionality within the urban black community, just get whitey—he’s to blame for sure.
“Lynch the white cop!! “
Lord help that guy——he has already been convicted.
This entire thing is absolute insanity.
.
Amazing. What we have here is a Law “professor” saying that the Cop is guilty until proven innocent.
The pictures speak for themselves:
Arrest the cop who murdered that thug who robbed that store
Holder, the DOJ, Sharpton, Jackson, Obama, and the Dems are all on a witch hunt against the cops right now.
They are trying to change the discussion from the problems of the black community and the robbery to military cops.
Until many blacks get a grip of their communities and raising families then nothing will change, and instead blame whitey and cops for their failures.
Yes and after we arrest him, then we can have an investigation. Or should we just skip that too, and move on to the lynching. /s
So you want to arrest someone when you admit we don’t know all the facts? What will the charges be?
A lawless Harvard law professor. I’m not surprised.
So, every time a cop shoots someone, they should be arrested because “we don’t know what happened”?
Does that make sense to anyone who got past 2nd grade?
This is who passes for a scholar at Harvard Law School.
Shameful.
Phew! When I first read the header I thought it indicated that the lyin’ king was mentoring someone. We all know that’s impossible. :>}
Have to put the cop in the “Whiteness” protection program!
Abe Lincoln is the one who should have been arrested.
This from the hahhvahd professor who “taught” obamaumao and moochelle on race relations. Well, certainly did that well- to lessen racial tensions.
Also wrote the coverup book on the Henry Gates incident near harvard, wherein the prez had a beer with the cops and biden, after saying they “acted foolishly”. Him being so well informed and all, and ignoring the actions of Gates, and how he addressed the police who thought he was burglarizing his place. Sure, thaaat professor now thinks he can comment on a situation again where the facts are only marginally known.
Why? He was the first Republican president.
Are you sure the police chief gave him a commendation? Maybe it was a license to shoot any black person that looks at you the wrong way. /S
That be the african law— like napoleonic code. Tribal decision by chief, no facts no trial.. verdict— guilty. Doing exactly what they say whites did in all cases. Sure nough.
