Ali Rafiq This man is a police officer, Mike Brown was a law breaker. The police officer job is to apprehend the law breaker not sit in a locked car. The cop did not know if brown was armed or not all he knew is that brown was a bold , violent and dangerous man and his job was to stop him. I am very impressed with the explanation that officer Wilson gave George.
Mark Dice i'm not so sure that Darren Wilson is telling the truth I can feel that he is lying about the whole thing! I don't defend either side as a Christian! if you see in the beginning of the video you will see Darren Wilson grinning if though nothing ever happened and plus the witnesses that seen him shoot Mike Brown how is it that his story stands out as the truth? and the witness's testimony get put off as a lie? Mark Dice are you sure he is telling the truth? Because anyone can tell a story and the hold world would believe it! and you call yourself a christian? Mark Dice but I will call you a hypocrite! real Christian preach the true gospel by telling people about Jesus Christ! and i'm here to call you out on it false teacher.
A black kid who just strong arm robbed a convenience store and is walking down the middle of the road as the cops are coming.........this kid was suicidal and he decided he was going out in a blaze of glory that day.
jenjanea No we don't. I'm not saying the shooting was right or wrong…all I am saying is that we don't call walking into a store and physically assaulting a shop owner to steal from them shop lifting - we call it aggravated robbery.
***** sorry you feel that way, but a whole nation agrees that this guy is a coward liar there's a reason the biggest protests in your life time is going on coast to coast
Vihara2 huh? Protest all around USA but you're focused on yesterdays riot in one city, you must watch fox news i'm sure that's all they been showing all day.
Well, he robbed a store, bullied the asian shopkeeper and then tried to take away the officer's gun. he brought that upon himself by thinking he was high and almighty and felt like he could do watever the heck he wanted to do. All he had to do was co-operate with the cop when he showed up. No one is bigger than the law. It's simple, you poke the bear, you pay the price.
ARYEliB *Uncle Tom is a term used by black people to try to convince other black people that working, education, living well, and setting a good example for their children is selling out.*
He comes across as clear, honest, patient, smart and a very calm and sincere person. No wonder he impressed the grand jury. If you look at ALL the facts, his story is very true.
What a tremendously courageous police officer and husband! Thank you officer wilson from upholding the law and protecting others from a violent criminal. I can only imagine how difficult that must be in this poor man's mind during those moments: "If I don't stop this man, I'm going to die. If I don't stop this violent criminal, I'll never see my wife and kids again. If he gets my gun, or knocks me out, or stabs me, he could kill how many more people today!?" I'm glad we have men like Officer Wilson keeping a watchful eye over our streets.
Wilson was in an incompetent police department that got disbanded because they handled their community terrible. Wilson refused to show up as a key witness for a drug case, that had been in the works for 1 year. Wilson arrested a man for filming him, even though he was supposed to give over a summons, nothing more.
Bellerophon2200 i posted the video several times already, but since i closed the tab you have to look it up yourself. The rest is easily verifiable on google. I would post it for you in normal cases, but alas, tired.
I dislike how the officer shows no emotion or remorse for the fallen man he killed, simply putting his death as "I did my job, it had to be done" just felt very cold.
He's been through a lot though. It may have been self defense, but no one had to die. Mike Brown was unarmed. He should have used a non-lethal weapon. Either way, both the media AND the people have put him through hell. He probably has a lot on his mind. He killed an 18-year old, but he also killed a black teenager. That of course makes him the epitome of racism and injustice in America. His life is in danger. People want to see him dead.
Amazing interview. Sobering. Unless it can be shown to be untrue, I would have easily felt the same way as Ofc. Wilson and, had I received the same training, responded in the same professional and justifiable manner. Where are those people grieving over the fact that this young person was raised in such a way to believe that, stoned, he could violently assault a store owner, take what didn't belong to him, and contemptuously threaten and assault a police officer and just walk away, and that it does not merit parental or community disapproval? This young man was a fleeing fugitive felon (felony 1: strong-arm robbery; felony 2: assault on an officer with attempted deadly force); in ANY jurisdiction, apprehending him would merit deadly force.
***** Use of deadly force to deter a violent threat to life and limb IS the process due all thugs and criminals when engaging in such conduct. Further, use of deadly force to apprehend a fleeing violent fugitive IS the process due such perpetrators.
Dear Mr. Wilson, I prayed for you and Mike Brown. Most people don't understand where you are coming from as a cop and most importanly, as a person that had your life threatened. Me, I do understand. I don't have experience being a cop but numerous times as a kid growing up I had my life threatened in the middle of a fight. I was jumped by five girls in elementary. I also was in a lot of fights growing up. I got into so many fights because I got bullied constantly everyday. It got to the point that I started contemplating how I would fight my fights to protect myself. If I were you and Mike Brown reached for my gun, I would have kept his hand there and tazed him in the hand continuasly until he fell to the ground. Option#2 I would have drug him with my car while his hand was in my car with the car in second gear until he fell to the ground and called for backup. I will continue to pray for you and the Brown Family. GOD BLESS YOU SIR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY.
Seems to me like his department didn't issue him a Taser. Which is unfortunate and I worked for an agency that only had OC spray, Baton, and Pistol. The taser would or could have been helpful.
The keywitness for Darren Wilson was a racist bipolar liar. Her name is Sandra McElroy, she has a recorded history of racist remarks, criminal behavior, and mental illness. When asked what she was doing in Ferguson she said she was "studying African-americans to understand them better."
While Wilson claims that he doesn't know how he'll _"survive"_ and/or how he'll _"get out of this"_ ...... he probably takes no account of the fact that Brown is most likely having the same thoughts. Afterall, Wilson is the one with the gun. The central problem with this incident is that Wilson ecalated the situation unnecessarily.
I don't understand how anyone can be okay with this. HE COULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS BY TAZERING AND DETAINING HIM. I don't care if you think Micheal Brown was a thug, he had a life, a bright future, and a loving family. Anyone who would take that away from a single person is nothing short of a monster. #handsupdontshoot
He never answered why did Michael turn around after he started running?. Or what did you say to Michael after he said he's not coming to you. I know he just didn't instantly punch you. It's questions he will never give answers to
This man is a police officer, Mike Brown was a law breaker. The police officer job is to apprehend the law breaker . The cop did not know if brown was armed or not all he knew is that brown was a bold , violent and dangerous man and his job was to stop him. I am very impressed with the explanation that officer Wilson gave George. How is this cop supposed to know why a perpetrator turns around . A police man would tell him to stop and get on his knees. When Mike brown turned he turned to challenge this cop thinking that he is a white pussy and does not have the guts to gun him down.
abayer1000 but why would he run in the first place if he thought the officer was pussy? After he shot him the first time he would've kept fighting instead of running if that was the case
NORTHENDKING14 who knows why mike brown did anything , why rob the store , why rough up the clerk why walk down the middle of the street and not get on the side walk when ordered to, why punch a law officer . All stupid dangerous actions Mike Brown did. None of Mike Brown actions make any sense even trying to make sense of Mike Browns actions does not make sense. He was a senseless criminal.
Like I thought bounce around that question. It does not make sense because the officer is skipping over parts of the story. “I opens the door, Michael just swings at me"-“I shoot Michael while he's running he just turns around and starts charging" Everything to make him sound demonic. N somebody plz tell me what the store video had to do with the altercation between the officer and Michael.
Let me tell u why this is so phony... 1. If he was Sooooo frightened ("felt like a 5 yr old against Hulk Hogan"-_-) then WHY would he chase him after Mike Brown left??? 2. He says this incident does not taunt him...but if you were in a situation in which u were scared for your life...wouldn't u have a nightmare or two??? Full of bologna! I pray God reveals the truth. This Is ridiculous.
***** 1) Wilson wasnt aware that Brown was a criminal suspect. He only found out about that after he had shot him. All wilson, supposedly was doing, was telling brown to get of the road / street. It apparently escalated. But it wouldnt be the first time wilson has lost his temper, he also arrested a guy for simply filming him, telling the person he has no rights.
No, you are delusional. This man is a damn lie. He chased that boy for no reason. He did not know about a robbery, either. He says in the video that Brown was walking in the middle of the street and so he asked him to move. I'm VERY sure he didn't just ask nicely. He's racist, so he probably said the crazy, evil comment about him being in the street and Brown got mad and got smart with him. Which made Wilson angry and that's when things got ugly.
How many of you actually think it was necessary to shoot the boy SIX times? No matter WHAT he was doing! Wilson shot him AGAIN when Brown was ALREADY DOWN!!! What more is someone shot down going to do? Nothing! He wanted to KILL him. And if you support that, then you are no child of God. You are the devil himself. And I will be praying for ya.
So many racist comments and I know most of them are trolls but is this really the human race? Somebody died and your mind tells you that "Making a horrible racist joke" is the right thing to do. Even the Cop who shot him at least have some respect for this. You guys are the real criminals here today ... Good Job.
I honestly think Darren Wilson should've kept his mouth shut and left people with their suspicions instead of telling this story. This literally sounds like something out of a Superhero flick.
Darren Wilson, you haven't started seeing demons, and people looking like the hulk. This is just the beginning. My grandparents always told me "If you kill someone with a gun, you too will die by a gun". You reap, what you sow. The wrath of God is surely real. Hell is very real! You will continue hide away from people, IS THAT A LIFE? Look at George Zimmerman's life after Trayvon Martin's case, he's been in one trouble or another. Good luck to you and try to enjoy your days on earth because God's punishment is eternity. And for you to feel no remorse for killing a fellow human, YOU ARE A GREAT DEMON! You did not give him life. You disgust me!
iDiamonique Racial Politics by Minorities and Leftists, against Law Enforcement and White-People, are becoming an epidemic in this Country. If the Media and Special Interest continue their current narrative, race wars are inevitable. Any I think everybody knows how that will turn out.
Officer Wilson is a great officer. Thank God for him and pray we have more officers like him. As for brown he made his bed. He had so many opportunities to do right but instead he chose the wrong path. Wilson is the victim. Who was in fear of his life. Let this be a lesson to all thugs dont attack police officers . do exactly what they say . if...... You do this then like the millions of people whether black white or Hispanic you will live to see another day:) america what happened to your common sense? To much RUclips, brain dead music and movies has made america completely stupid... What a shame.....
Was wilson a victim in his last police department that got disbanded because its police officers were so terrible and treated its community like trash? Was wilson a victim, when all he was supposed to do, was give a summons, instead goes and arrests a person for filming him, from his own property?
hajkie I don't know I wasn't there and don't know his side! Also these thugs completely disrespect these white police officers everyday. If these thugs start respecting authority then maybe these officers can do more to get along with the communit
Crade 25 Lol, so when officers treat the community like crap, and people start distrusting the authority, its communities fault? =P I sincerely disagree. Police has terrible PR and they have taken no actions to improve on it. Infact, the only ones i seen trying to take action is police in new york but they still have a long way to go. They decided to train their police in language, to make police officers stop saying "fuck" and other curses.
To the parents of Mike Brown This is your fault no one else is to blame but you. Did you teach your son the difference between right and wrong ? Did you teach your son to tell the truth and be honest ? Did you teach your son to be kind and not violent ? Did you teach your son not to steal but to work for the things he wants? Did you do the best you could for your son ? Apparently not.... And if you did..your best wasn't good enough you failed. But hey that's ok it's not your fault it's the white mans fault you couldn't raise your son to be a respectable member of society.HIS DEATH IS YOUR FAULT
I have a question for you sir. Have you ever stolen anything, from all your days on earth? If you tell me you haven't stolen anything . i don;t care whether from a family member etc, you sir are lying!
iDiamonique Sir, I have never stolen ANYTHING…and I can assure you I am not lying - but what is your point? He wasn't shot for stealing…he was, apparently, shot for attacking a police officer….I'm not opining on that, but I would like to understand the point that you are trying to make - because you are not making it clearly!
N Mil I respect that opinion. I just think that he should have been indicted or not brought to a grand jury at all since the prosecutor got confused and played defense the whole time (months). Should he have been convicted of something? Maybe (not murder, imo). The case was an example of just how much we don't hold officers accountable for their actions. Wilson was well within his right to defend himself, but I think a trial is in order when someone ends up with a shot to the head and the other has a bruise that looks like a rash. The difference between how the grand jury was carried out for an officer (multiple months, crapton [i.e. overload] of evidence, etc) and a civilian shouldn't be so great.
Jessieca Johnson You have to be a real fool to think that him reaching through the counter and yanking the cigars away constitutes him paying... There was never one indication that he gave that store owner money. You literally have to watch that video blindly hoping for that conclusion in order to come to it. It's extremely silly...
Darren Wilson is an honorable, honest cop. I HATE how Stephanopolous keeps casting doubt on his actions in such a lif- or-death crisis, and seems shocked by his statements. This ersatz journalist is doing his best to impune a very decent, fully credible man.
You know I'm a Black man, and this Officer May very well be telling the Truth this is his side of the story, unfortunately we don't have Michael Brown's side of the story. For all we know this officer could be Completely lying, No one knows but them two and god.
Great interview Mr. Stephanopoulos. Darren Wilson killed someone that did not deserve to die. It's so frustrating to see how calm he is about killing a human being.
The only honest answer here is we don't know what actually happened for sure. If we continue on with our honesty, then we need to ask one more question. Would black people have gone on the rampage if it were a black police officer? If the answer is "no" then it is not the circumstances that were on trial here, but rather the colour of the officer's skin.
Exactly. With the exception that we do know quite a bit about what happened. The Coroner's report shows that many of the witnesses lied. Hell, even many other witnesses say that some of the witnesses lied. The people who SHOULD be on trial are those who seized the opportunity to stir racial tensions, incite riots and get innocent people killed even before the facts came out. It's illegal to shout "FIRE!" in crowded movie theater when there is no fire. This is the same type of situation and some people need to be behind bars right now.
Though the protests wouldn't be "color-based", people would still argue that police brutality and the corruption deriving from the cover-ups deserve to be questioned.
This cop did his job. Cops are trained to shoot center of mass. No matter the color of the skin, all I see is one less criminal on the street. Darren Wilson is a hero.
I'm sure you would feel the exact same way if Brown was your son and the same image as your natural child. Would the cop's action still be outstanding.
i dont believe it either......and the eyewitnesses at the scene who wish to remain annonymous, many of which are black, said brown did not put his hands up
But what did Darren say to Michael after that? He skips over that n says he opened the door and Michael swung? Are you serious? How can you believe that.
I live in Europe and I dont understand why Americans make such a big deal about this. You have to put yourself in that situation. What would you do if you know someone wants to take your gun to shoot you? Police officers are people doing their job like anybody else. People blame police officers in these situations when nobody knows what happened and how and individual felt in that situation. What the heck was Michael Brown thinking? you attack a police officer and try to take his gun, what the heck do you think its going to happen? why didnt he just cooperate. A few words with the police doesnt mean they are attacking or picking on you. Think how you would have felt/acted if someone wants to take your gun to shoot you. Time goes fast in those situations and its not like you can take hours to make rational decisions.
Isn't it ironic that his story hasn't changed one bit, but the stories advocating for Micheal Brown have changed whenever certain pieces of evidence would come out? Just something I've noticed. I don't think I will ever take a side in this issue, but I do think that Darren Wilson was just doing his job. And yes, I've been back and fourth with this whole thing.
its astonishing that you guys really believe this mans scripted story, he said he was still running towards him to fight him after being shot multiple times, the final shot was the fatal shot, so he was running towards wilson with 5 bullets in him already, like he's superman or something that is ridiculous, completely ludicrous.
Witness 10 is probably the most credible eyewitness to the shooting. He has no apparent reason for lying nor do I see how he could lie while at the same time have a version of events that is the same as Wilson's. That he saw it happen and it happened as both he and Wilson claim seems to me to be the logical explanation. Witness 10 describes the struggle at the police car, Wilson chasing Brown, Brown sticking his hand to his waistband, and charging forward towards Wilson. Wilson opens fire at this point. Brown keeps charging and Wilson keeps firing until he finally goes to the ground. Same thing that Wilson says happened. He also says that he is sure that Brown never put his hands up or try to surrender. When asked for his opinion of the incident he replied: [quote]Initially, um, I thought wow um, did he have to use that force on him. Um, could he have take and retrieved his taser, um, and tased the young guy? He was...I felt like he was unarmed and my initial thoughts was that. And, after thinking about it and reviewing everything and putting myself in the police officer’s shoes, I feel like he handled the situation correct force wise. The gunshot led from the car, the confrontation led from the car. He came out with his weapon drawn, um, trying to pursue the suspect then um, at one point the suspect turns and if he, I felt if he was really trying to give himself up, um, the police officer already has his gun drawn. If you’re really trying to give yourself up, you’re gonna lay down on the ground and you’re gonna let it be known um, but that he didn't do that and he charged at him and at that time I feel like the police officer he didn’t have time to really react and holster his weapon and re-holster with a taser. [/quote] This is his police interview from August 11: www.documentcloud.org/documents/1370946-interview-witness-10.html Witness 10 testified in front of the grand jury on Sept 23. His story didn't change from what I can tell. Starts at page 149: www.documentcloud.org/documents/1370908-grand-jury-volume-6.html And Wilson's police interview from August 10: www.documentcloud.org/documents/1370945-interview-po-darren-wilson.html
Try to imagine being a police officer. You are making sure there is the law and order on the city street. Then a stone thug threatening your life. Hitting you in a face, trying to take your gun and kill you with it. You are not paid for it. No salary nor benefits nor early pension options compensate the risk of your job. It is unbeliavable to see pepople on the street supporting a criminal and demanding revenge for sn honest cop.
So your telling me he was trying to commit suicide by cop? I'm sorry his story doesn't add up. Only someone who has a deaf wish would charge a cop with his weapon out from that distance.
Number 1) This does not mean he is racist Number 2) Why did he not call for backup? Number 3) Even if this police officer shot Michael, for a good or bad reason, they should just drop it because the evidence is based on WORDS, if he is innocent and he just did his job he could go to jail for nothing
I just have one question. Why is this about race. I can't understand why they were walking on the middle of the road in the first place. Do they not have pavements in the states? Having seen the footage of the deceased assault an innocent shop keeper for no good reason, it probably is best to accept the decision of the Jury don't you think?
All I can say is Darren Wilson, "legally", as you say, you can shoot this man, but maybe what you should say is "I'm sorry". There is no law that says you shouldn't feel remorse when you take someone's life "legally", even in a difficult situation like this. If you killed someone, whether or not they did right or wrong, you still took their life, and you have yours. Please, why can't you say that you're sorry? Broken hearts are not mended by a clean conscience, but by love, and right now that's what we need the most.
Let me get this straight, a man thats running for his life thats being shot at by a cop turns back around and charges the cop thats shooting at him that he was running from to begin with. Then after being shot a few times keeps running towards the cop thats shooting at him. The same cop he ran from due to fear of his life. Makes perfect sense.
"shots fired send more cars" >no one shows up for several hours "he was about 40-30 feet away and started charging towards me" >he was still allegedly 35 feet away despite 'charging' for long enough to be told to stop several times
He said that the kid charged him from 30 feet and kept charging even after getting hit by at least 2 shots. And what i understand from this interview the cop seems to recall every detail from that moment and seems to have had plenty of time to act and think. even taking a pause from the shooting to judge the situation, and after pausing to think keeps firing bullets at the still charging man.... That's just lies man. The kid must have been charging at snail speed or charging from at least 60 feet. And for him to keep charging at him after being hit MUTLIPLE times just does not add up. And then there is the way this guy is telling the story. He shows no emotion, he just stairs blankly in front of him and drones on like a robot. it has got to be the worst acting i have ever seen. He looks like a teenage kid trying to lie his way out of some mess he has gotten him self into.
Darren Wilson, how many times had you shot Michael Brown? 12(!) times? Was it self defence 12 times in row? I surprised that Michael Brown did not pull the Darren Wilson's gun trigger by himself and shot himself 12 times by ABS News and jury versions...
people need to think and put all biased feelings aside. i don't think the cop is telling the whole truth but we will never know. put camera on every officer.
I find common themes, shoot for the legs, no you don't because then you miss and hit people or objects behind a threat, and you don't stop the threat. Hands up don't shoot, Bogus. had he not assaulted the officer or had he not threatened to assault the officer again maybe you'd have a case, a civil case, but the evidence points to the state of mind of Brown on video 5 minutes earlier in the C-store, and the eye witnesses who were recorded on cell phone video shortly after the encounter, the same witnesses who were not on camera or had a vested interest in coming up with some story for Lawyer Crump who is a travesty of American law representation. All this leads to people burning our flag. Burning our community businesses. Perpetuating more violence. Maybe we should stop following the usual suspects "black leadership" like Jessie Jackson, Crump, and Al Sharpton. Maybe the President should fucking try and lead here too.
Seems pretty obvious that the cop here was within standard procedure, and considering the amount of ressources allocated by the US administration to investigate no stone was left unturned. Now, in many other countries the same procedures would not even exist - so the ferguson protesters should either focus on the current legislation authorizing cops to shoot when their life is threatened (here by hand in pocket potentially reaching for a gun [?]) or let it go ( as it would be very hard to hire cops in the violent USA). But IN NO CASE should the protestors keep focusing on a single cop - it makes them look stupid, almost as much as looting the few stores who dared open in a "bad" neighborhood and provide the few jobs that give more opportunity to change things for the better than any political speech, public hanging, or police defiance would.
Whether he was did what is claimed or not, had Wilson been carrying a taser gun a death could have been avoided and Michael Brown would have been apprehended. Then he could still be here to defend himself.
I am just not trying to say that Brown is completely innocent, but this situation went from a simple altercation which I am sure millions of cops have gone through before to tragic death of a person when it really didn't need to happen that way. The taser would have definitely worked in the altercation between Wilson and Brown. Cops have used tasers to get suspects off of other cops before. If Wilson was able to unholster his gun and try to shoot Brown, he could have done the same with his taser. And the taser is likely to not have jammed the way Wilson claims the gun did. And the taser would have been amazing to use if Brown was rushing or running at Wilson the way he claims. Tasing a suspect has never failed to at least slow a person down, if not completely immobilize them. I am sure Brown is no angel. But neither is Wilson. Something could and should have been done differently to prevent a death. No one is innocent in this situation. But did Brown deserve to die for his actions? Absolutely not. There are many (of all races) who have done so much worse who are either incarcerated or walking free. Brown did not deserve to die.
The problem is not that a small-time criminal got killed by inappropriate force of a police officer. It's neither that the police is white and the criminal is black. The problem is, that the authorities said: "Well done Sir, everything is fine what you did"
This man deserves a medal for everything he and his family have been through. Hope he makes a million dollars on a book deal.

Well...allegedly reached for the officer's gun. Brown was shot repeatedly to death so I guess we can't really get his side of the story.
The Police Officer would lose in a Direct Confrontation with Criminal Brown.
He comes across as clear, honest, patient, smart and a very calm and sincere person. No wonder he impressed the grand jury. If you look at ALL the facts, his story is very true.
There's only two people that know what really went down that day and one is dead. A tragedy all the way around. No winners only losers
No tragedy but murder, with the criminal getting away with it.

What a tremendously courageous police officer and husband! Thank you officer wilson from upholding the law and protecting others from a violent criminal.
I can only imagine how difficult that must be in this poor man's mind during those moments: "If I don't stop this man, I'm going to die. If I don't stop this violent criminal, I'll never see my wife and kids again. If he gets my gun, or knocks me out, or stabs me, he could kill how many more people today!?"
I'm glad we have men like Officer Wilson keeping a watchful eye over our streets.
Wilson was in an incompetent police department that got disbanded because they handled their community terrible. Wilson refused to show up as a key witness for a drug case, that had been in the works for 1 year. Wilson arrested a man for filming him, even though he was supposed to give over a summons, nothing more.
Got some facts to back that up, jack?
Bellerophon2200
i posted the video several times already, but since i closed the tab you have to look it up yourself. The rest is easily verifiable on google. I would post it for you in normal cases, but alas, tired.
Well, mike brown was a thug criminal from a ghetto so I guess it's a match made in heaven huh hajkie?
***** Proven innocent. Two words. How hard is it to get? What more evidence do you need? What is true isn't narrated by what you want to be true.
How are you gonna defend ANYONE that got shot twice and still kept charging at an officer? Plain dumb.
God bless you Darren. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
mh, do you relish death?
It blows my mind to think that they are destroying their own city in retaliation.
yeap, the magic of stupidity!!!!!. and they are the king
I dislike how the officer shows no emotion or remorse for the fallen man he killed, simply putting his death as "I did my job, it had to be done" just felt very cold.
He's been through a lot though. It may have been self defense, but no one had to die. Mike Brown was unarmed. He should have used a non-lethal weapon.
Either way, both the media AND the people have put him through hell. He probably has a lot on his mind. He killed an 18-year old, but he also killed a black teenager. That of course makes him the epitome of racism and injustice in America.
His life is in danger. People want to see him dead.
What do you want him to cry.
Amazing interview. Sobering. Unless it can be shown to be untrue, I would have easily felt the same way as Ofc. Wilson and, had I received the same training, responded in the same professional and justifiable manner. Where are those people grieving over the fact that this young person was raised in such a way to believe that, stoned, he could violently assault a store owner, take what didn't belong to him, and contemptuously threaten and assault a police officer and just walk away, and that it does not merit parental or community disapproval? This young man was a fleeing fugitive felon (felony 1: strong-arm robbery; felony 2: assault on an officer with attempted deadly force); in ANY jurisdiction, apprehending him would merit deadly force.
***** I agree.
He showed restraint bitch he is dead! You dumb fuck
Luci Services Well, every cloud has a silver lining!
Chas Grav
good response, ha ha
***** Use of deadly force to deter a violent threat to life and limb IS the process due all thugs and criminals when engaging in such conduct. Further, use of deadly force to apprehend a fleeing violent fugitive IS the process due such perpetrators.
When the interviewer is one sided and biased I kek,
Darren Wilson actions are justified whilst George Stephanopoulos should get fired.
Dear Mr. Wilson, I prayed for you and Mike Brown. Most people don't understand where you are coming from as a cop and most importanly, as a person that had your life threatened. Me, I do understand. I don't have experience being a cop but numerous times as a kid growing up I had my life threatened in the middle of a fight. I was jumped by five girls in elementary. I also was in a lot of fights growing up. I got into so many fights because I got bullied constantly everyday. It got to the point that I started contemplating how I would fight my fights to protect myself. If I were you and Mike Brown reached for my gun, I would have kept his hand there and tazed him in the hand continuasly until he fell to the ground. Option#2 I would have drug him with my car while his hand was in my car with the car in second gear until he fell to the ground and called for backup. I will continue to pray for you and the Brown Family. GOD BLESS YOU SIR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY.
Seems to me like his department didn't issue him a Taser. Which is unfortunate and I worked for an agency that only had OC spray, Baton, and Pistol. The taser would or could have been helpful.
The person conducting the interview seems pretty biased against the officer during the interview portion.
If you support Officer Darren Wilson, thumbs up.
The keywitness for Darren Wilson was a racist bipolar liar. Her name is Sandra McElroy, she has a recorded history of racist remarks, criminal behavior, and mental illness. When asked what she was doing in Ferguson she said she was "studying African-americans to understand them better."
Rated bullshit
He is a good man
He will never have a "normal life", especially after this cold, "clean conscience" interview. Sad.
Darren Wilson deserves a death penalty creating all this mess in Ferguson
Why show a kid picture of Brown, show current one. 290lb man.
Wasn't this kid only 17? What was his motive for all this behavior? I'm not buying this dude story at all... And a hero? Are you guys kidding me?
Nah, that man was old enough to pay for those cigarillos he stole.
Propaganda interview from ABC TV
Absolutely disgusted by ABC for interviewing this man and offering him half a million dollars to tell these lies.
"Why not just stay in the car?". What kind of a fucking stupid question is that? He is a police officer and it's his job to arrest criminals.
We need more police officers like this man
wish we could hear from michael brown as well... the other side of the story.
raceandcrime oh man you got problems... so much hate in your heart.
If I was rich I would give this guy a couple of million to retire with. His life has been ruined for doing his job.
he's a killer.
Vlad KING No shit a self defence kill. But not a killer deserving of punishment.
Darren Wilson needs to get a job at the Texas Highway Patrol and become a Texas Ranger
An unarmed man, who had been shot multiple times, continued to charge after a police officer with a gun pointed at him? Bull. SHIT.
While Wilson claims that he doesn't know how he'll _"survive"_ and/or how he'll _"get out of this"_ ...... he probably takes no account of the fact that Brown is most likely having the same thoughts. Afterall, Wilson is the one with the gun.
The central problem with this incident is that Wilson ecalated the situation unnecessarily.
Dude's honest, no reason to lie
He did the world a favor he deserves a medal.
"He charged me" in flip flops from 30 feet away unarmed.
If there's a hell, the murderer Darren Wilson deserves to be there. What a despicable coward. Shame on him.
I don't understand how anyone can be okay with this. HE COULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS BY TAZERING AND DETAINING HIM. I don't care if you think Micheal Brown was a thug, he had a life, a bright future, and a loving family. Anyone who would take that away from a single person is nothing short of a monster. #handsupdontshoot
God bless this man, a true hero and a loyal person.
I'm glad he made it alive to see his family.
He never answered why did Michael turn around after he started running?. Or what did you say to Michael after he said he's not coming to you. I know he just didn't instantly punch you. It's questions he will never give answers to
This man is a police officer, Mike Brown was a law breaker. The police officer job is to apprehend the law breaker . The cop did not know if brown was armed or not all he knew is that brown was a bold , violent and dangerous man and his job was to stop him. I am very impressed with the explanation that officer Wilson gave George. How is this cop supposed to know why a perpetrator turns around . A police man would tell him to stop and get on his knees. When Mike brown turned he turned to challenge this cop thinking that he is a white pussy and does not have the guts to gun him down.
Never heard of a sucker punch? Perhaps even the knockout game?
abayer1000 but why would he run in the first place if he thought the officer was pussy? After he shot him the first time he would've kept fighting instead of running if that was the case
NORTHENDKING14 who knows why mike brown did anything , why rob the store , why rough up the clerk why walk down the middle of the street and not get on the side walk when ordered to, why punch a law officer . All stupid dangerous actions Mike Brown did. None of Mike Brown actions make any sense even trying to make sense of Mike Browns actions does not make sense. He was a senseless criminal.
Like I thought bounce around that question. It does not make sense because the officer is skipping over parts of the story. “I opens the door, Michael just swings at me"-“I shoot Michael while he's running he just turns around and starts charging" Everything to make him sound demonic. N somebody plz tell me what the store video had to do with the altercation between the officer and Michael.
Let me tell u why this is so phony...
1. If he was Sooooo frightened ("felt like a 5 yr old against Hulk Hogan"-_-) then WHY would he chase him after Mike Brown left???
2. He says this incident does not taunt him...but if you were in a situation in which u were scared for your life...wouldn't u have a nightmare or two???
Full of bologna! I pray God reveals the truth. This Is ridiculous.
*****
1) Wilson wasnt aware that Brown was a criminal suspect. He only found out about that after he had shot him. All wilson, supposedly was doing, was telling brown to get of the road / street. It apparently escalated. But it wouldnt be the first time wilson has lost his temper, he also arrested a guy for simply filming him, telling the person he has no rights.
hajkie comepletley wrong he was aware of the robberycall get facts right.
Chris F
Which is why im saying that the police chief is lying.
No, you are delusional. This man is a damn lie. He chased that boy for no reason. He did not know about a robbery, either. He says in the video that Brown was walking in the middle of the street and so he asked him to move. I'm VERY sure he didn't just ask nicely. He's racist, so he probably said the crazy, evil comment about him being in the street and Brown got mad and got smart with him. Which made Wilson angry and that's when things got ugly.
How many of you actually think it was necessary to shoot the boy SIX times? No matter WHAT he was doing! Wilson shot him AGAIN when Brown was ALREADY DOWN!!! What more is someone shot down going to do? Nothing! He wanted to KILL him. And if you support that, then you are no child of God. You are the devil himself. And I will be praying for ya.
So many racist comments and I know most of them are trolls but is this really the human race? Somebody died and your mind tells you that "Making a horrible racist joke" is the right thing to do. Even the Cop who shot him at least have some respect for this.
You guys are the real criminals here today ... Good Job.
jack darrell It's a shame really, I hope people wake up from their unjustifiable hate to a race and direct it to the person.
I honestly think Darren Wilson should've kept his mouth shut and left people with their suspicions instead of telling this story. This literally sounds like something out of a Superhero flick.
Darren Wilson, you haven't started seeing demons, and people looking like the hulk. This is just the beginning. My grandparents always told me "If you kill someone with a gun, you too will die by a gun". You reap, what you sow. The wrath of God is surely real. Hell is very real! You will continue hide away from people, IS THAT A LIFE? Look at George Zimmerman's life after Trayvon Martin's case, he's been in one trouble or another. Good luck to you and try to enjoy your days on earth because God's punishment is eternity. And for you to feel no remorse for killing a fellow human, YOU ARE A GREAT DEMON! You did not give him life. You disgust me!
NIIGHT shut up coward. It wasn't self defense. He is racist. And shows no remorse even if it was in self defense.
iDiamonique Racial Politics by Minorities and Leftists, against Law Enforcement and White-People, are becoming an epidemic in this Country.
If the Media and Special Interest continue their current narrative, race wars are inevitable. Any I think everybody knows how that will turn out.
Well said Idiamonique
watch your words please .....get some education please
Saigon Bay Don't tell me to get an education when you can't even say a sentence correctly.
Officer Wilson is a great officer. Thank God for him and pray we have more officers like him.
As for brown he made his bed. He had so many opportunities to do right but instead he chose the wrong path.
Wilson is the victim. Who was in fear of his life. Let this be a lesson to all thugs dont attack police officers . do exactly what they say . if...... You do this then like the millions of people whether black white or Hispanic you will live to see another day:) america what happened to your common sense? To much RUclips, brain dead music and movies has made america completely stupid... What a shame.....
Was wilson a victim in his last police department that got disbanded because its police officers were so terrible and treated its community like trash? Was wilson a victim, when all he was supposed to do, was give a summons, instead goes and arrests a person for filming him, from his own property?
hajkie I don't know I wasn't there and don't know his side!
Also these thugs completely disrespect these white police officers everyday.
If these thugs start respecting authority then maybe these officers can do more to get along with the communit
Crade 25 Lol, so when officers treat the community like crap, and people start distrusting the authority, its communities fault? =P
I sincerely disagree. Police has terrible PR and they have taken no actions to improve on it.
Infact, the only ones i seen trying to take action is police in new york but they still have a long way to go. They decided to train their police in language, to make police officers stop saying "fuck" and other curses.
hajkie thank God for our Police Officers!!! :)
To the parents of Mike Brown
This is your fault no one else is to blame but you.
Did you teach your son the difference between right and wrong ?
Did you teach your son to tell the truth and be honest ?
Did you teach your son to be kind and not violent ?
Did you teach your son not to steal but to work for the things he wants?
Did you do the best you could for your son ?
Apparently not.... And if you did..your best wasn't good enough you failed.
But hey that's ok it's not your fault it's the white mans fault you couldn't raise your son to be a respectable member of society.HIS DEATH IS YOUR FAULT
If you heard any account about Michael, you'd know this alleged behavior was very out of character for him.
I have a question for you sir. Have you ever stolen anything, from all your days on earth? If you tell me you haven't stolen anything . i don;t care whether from a family member etc, you sir are lying!
iDiamonique Sir, I have never stolen ANYTHING…and I can assure you I am not lying - but what is your point? He wasn't shot for stealing…he was, apparently, shot for attacking a police officer….I'm not opining on that, but I would like to understand the point that you are trying to make - because you are not making it clearly!
N Mil I respect that opinion. I just think that he should have been indicted or not brought to a grand jury at all since the prosecutor got confused and played defense the whole time (months). Should he have been convicted of something? Maybe (not murder, imo). The case was an example of just how much we don't hold officers accountable for their actions. Wilson was well within his right to defend himself, but I think a trial is in order when someone ends up with a shot to the head and the other has a bruise that looks like a rash. The difference between how the grand jury was carried out for an officer (multiple months, crapton [i.e. overload] of evidence, etc) and a civilian shouldn't be so great.
***** How does it feel being irrational?
He's a damned liar. The kid stopped because he shot him again. The coroner said some of the shots on the arm could have come from the back.
I see why he was silent. Wow..the tone of his voice tells the details of the story.
He did his job and he did it well... The thug had literally just robbed a store... How people can act like he is some innocent kid is beyond me.
Because wilson didnt know about the robbery or suspect until after he had shot him.
hajkie
That's not true.... The officer saw him with the stolen cigars.
nubemuffin
Then the police chief is a liar. Either way, someone is lying within the police department.
nubemuffin yes and a survalliance tape was released showing brown at the same gas station PAYING the cashier for a pack of cigars. Fuck off
Jessieca Johnson
You have to be a real fool to think that him reaching through the counter and yanking the cigars away constitutes him paying... There was never one indication that he gave that store owner money. You literally have to watch that video blindly hoping for that conclusion in order to come to it. It's extremely silly...
Darren Wilson is an honorable, honest cop. I HATE how Stephanopolous keeps casting doubt on his actions in such a lif- or-death crisis, and seems shocked by his statements. This ersatz journalist is doing his best to impune a very decent, fully credible man.
You know I'm a Black man, and this Officer May very well be telling the Truth this is his side of the story, unfortunately we don't have Michael Brown's side of the story. For all we know this officer could be Completely lying, No one knows but them two and god.
the eye witnesses back wilson's story. All the evidence point to Darren Wilson being attacked.
If Darren Wilson's story is true, Michael Brown was either suicidal, or just really really stupid.
he responds like a robot with no facial expression showing no emotion nothing, cops like this should be feared.
Great interview Mr. Stephanopoulos. Darren Wilson killed someone that did not deserve to die. It's so frustrating to see how calm he is about killing a human being.
"What is your dream?" Are you serious? What kind of question is this? You can do better than that, George Stephanopoulos.
Officer is doing his job!
"Im above average"@1:58 KEKEKEKEKEKKEKEKEKELELELELELLELE
AYEEEEEE LMAOOOO
IM FUCKING LOSING IT MY SIDES XD
The only honest answer here is we don't know what actually happened for sure.
If we continue on with our honesty, then we need to ask one more question. Would black people have gone on the rampage if it were a black police officer? If the answer is "no" then it is not the circumstances that were on trial here, but rather the colour of the officer's skin.
Exactly. With the exception that we do know quite a bit about what happened. The Coroner's report shows that many of the witnesses lied. Hell, even many other witnesses say that some of the witnesses lied. The people who SHOULD be on trial are those who seized the opportunity to stir racial tensions, incite riots and get innocent people killed even before the facts came out. It's illegal to shout "FIRE!" in crowded movie theater when there is no fire. This is the same type of situation and some people need to be behind bars right now.
Though the protests wouldn't be "color-based", people would still argue that police brutality and the corruption deriving from the cover-ups deserve to be questioned.
This cop did his job. Cops are trained to shoot center of mass. No matter the color of the skin, all I see is one less criminal on the street.
Darren Wilson is a hero.
Never learned to write?
I can see you are not a smart man.
I'm sure you would feel the exact same way if Brown was your son and the same image as your natural child. Would the cop's action still be outstanding.
Im on the officer's side.
Good one !!!! Please share another
Has he gotten his award? He's my hero
+Dom b No not yet, Darren Wilson needs to sue or at least counter-sue michael brown's family.
This guy is a hero
"Why not just sit in the car and wait? Hes running away"
Because Brown had just assaulted a cop and oh, I don't know, THATS HIS JOB?
I don't believe Michael brown put his hands up
i dont believe it either......and the eyewitnesses at the scene who wish to remain annonymous, many of which are black, said brown did not put his hands up
Darren Wilson: "Hey big fella, come here for a minute, friend"
Mike Brown: "WUT THA FUCK U GONNA DU ABOUT IT!!"
-Darren.
But what did Darren say to Michael after that? He skips over that n says he opened the door and Michael swung? Are you serious? How can you believe that.
I live in Europe and I dont understand why Americans make such a big deal about this. You have to put yourself in that situation. What would you do if you know someone wants to take your gun to shoot you? Police officers are people doing their job like anybody else. People blame police officers in these situations when nobody knows what happened and how and individual felt in that situation. What the heck was Michael Brown thinking? you attack a police officer and try to take his gun, what the heck do you think its going to happen? why didnt he just cooperate. A few words with the police doesnt mean they are attacking or picking on you. Think how you would have felt/acted if someone wants to take your gun to shoot you. Time goes fast in those situations and its not like you can take hours to make rational decisions.
Isn't it ironic that his story hasn't changed one bit, but the stories advocating for Micheal Brown have changed whenever certain pieces of evidence would come out? Just something I've noticed. I don't think I will ever take a side in this issue, but I do think that Darren Wilson was just doing his job. And yes, I've been back and fourth with this whole thing.
its astonishing that you guys really believe this mans scripted story, he said he was still running towards him to fight him after being shot multiple times, the final shot was the fatal shot, so he was running towards wilson with 5 bullets in him already, like he's superman or something that is ridiculous, completely ludicrous.
Listen to the way Mike Brown behaved. Running toward a firing gun. This was suicide by cop.
This video and the comments supporting Darren Wilson are exactly what is fucking wrong with America right now.
An act of self defense, what else was he supposed to do.
Witness 10 is probably the most credible eyewitness to the shooting. He has no apparent reason for lying nor do I see how he could lie while at the same time have a version of events that is the same as Wilson's. That he saw it happen and it happened as both he and Wilson claim seems to me to be the logical explanation.
Witness 10 describes the struggle at the police car, Wilson chasing Brown, Brown sticking his hand to his waistband, and charging forward towards Wilson. Wilson opens fire at this point. Brown keeps charging and Wilson keeps firing until he finally goes to the ground. Same thing that Wilson says happened. He also says that he is sure that Brown never put his hands up or try to surrender.
When asked for his opinion of the incident he replied:
[quote]Initially, um, I thought wow um, did he have to use that force on him. Um, could he have take and retrieved his taser, um, and tased the young guy? He was...I felt like he was unarmed and my initial thoughts was that. And, after thinking about it and reviewing everything and putting myself in the police officer’s shoes, I feel like he handled the situation correct force wise. The gunshot led from the car, the confrontation led from the car. He came out with his weapon drawn, um, trying to pursue the suspect then um, at one point the suspect turns and if he, I felt if he was really trying to give himself up, um, the police officer already has his gun drawn. If you’re really trying to give yourself up, you’re gonna lay down on the ground and you’re gonna let it be known um, but that he didn't do that and he charged at him and at that time I feel like the police officer he didn’t have time to really react and holster his weapon and re-holster with a taser. [/quote]
This is his police interview from August 11: www.documentcloud.org/documents/1370946-interview-witness-10.html
Witness 10 testified in front of the grand jury on Sept 23. His story didn't change from what I can tell. Starts at page 149: www.documentcloud.org/documents/1370908-grand-jury-volume-6.html
And Wilson's police interview from August 10: www.documentcloud.org/documents/1370945-interview-po-darren-wilson.html
Try to imagine being a police officer. You are making sure there is the law and order on the city street. Then a stone thug threatening your life. Hitting you in a face, trying to take your gun and kill you with it. You are not paid for it. No salary nor benefits nor early pension options compensate the risk of your job. It is unbeliavable to see pepople on the street supporting a criminal and demanding revenge for sn honest cop.
Is it true that mike brown robbed a store before
It doesn't take 100 days to figure out if a murder is a crime. It takes 100 days to figure out how to tell the people it isn't . ✌️
So your telling me he was trying to commit suicide by cop? I'm sorry his story doesn't add up. Only someone who has a deaf wish would charge a cop with his weapon out from that distance.
if someone is hitting you from outside the car, the first reaction should be to roll up the window.
Number 1) This does not mean he is racist
Number 2) Why did he not call for backup?
Number 3) Even if this police officer shot Michael, for a good or bad reason, they should just drop it because the evidence is based on WORDS, if he is innocent and he just did his job he could go to jail for nothing
I cannot comprehend how Darren Wilson believes that there were no preventative measures that could be taken to save the young life of Michael Brown.
I just have one question. Why is this about race. I can't understand why they were walking on the middle of the road in the first place. Do they not have pavements in the states? Having seen the footage of the deceased assault an innocent shop keeper for no good reason, it probably is best to accept the decision of the Jury don't you think?
All I can say is Darren Wilson, "legally", as you say, you can shoot this man, but maybe what you should say is "I'm sorry". There is no law that says you shouldn't feel remorse when you take someone's life "legally", even in a difficult situation like this. If you killed someone, whether or not they did right or wrong, you still took their life, and you have yours. Please, why can't you say that you're sorry? Broken hearts are not mended by a clean conscience, but by love, and right now that's what we need the most.
Let me get this straight, a man thats running for his life thats being shot at by a cop turns back around and charges the cop thats shooting at him that he was running from to begin with. Then after being shot a few times keeps running towards the cop thats shooting at him. The same cop he ran from due to fear of his life. Makes perfect sense.
"shots fired send more cars"
>no one shows up for several hours
"he was about 40-30 feet away and started charging towards me"
>he was still allegedly 35 feet away despite 'charging' for long enough to be told to stop several times
How much was paid for this "interview"
It was too much.
He said that the kid charged him from 30 feet and kept charging even after getting hit by at least 2 shots. And what i understand from this interview the cop seems to recall every detail from that moment and seems to have had plenty of time to act and think. even taking a pause from the shooting to judge the situation, and after pausing to think keeps firing bullets at the still charging man.... That's just lies man. The kid must have been charging at snail speed or charging from at least 60 feet. And for him to keep charging at him after being hit MUTLIPLE times just does not add up. And then there is the way this guy is telling the story. He shows no emotion, he just stairs blankly in front of him and drones on like a robot. it has got to be the worst acting i have ever seen. He looks like a teenage kid trying to lie his way out of some mess he has gotten him self into.
Darren Wilson, how many times had you shot Michael Brown? 12(!) times? Was it self defence 12 times in row?
I surprised that Michael Brown did not pull the Darren Wilson's gun trigger by himself and shot himself 12 times by ABS News and jury versions...
#SupportDarrenWilson
There is zero remorse or sadness in his tone
Awww the man who was trying to steal my gun and possibly kill me, is dead.
I am amazed this has 76 views. On the day after. Nobody is interested in hearing what the cop said?
They don't care about the "Troof".
people need to think and put all biased feelings aside. i don't think the cop is telling the whole truth but we will never know. put camera on every officer.
This situation looks more like poor training instead of abuse of power. To be honest.
It doesn't take 100 days to decide not to charge him, it takes 100 days to figure out how to lie to the public!!!
"he then swung and hit me in the right side of my face"
*cuts to picture of "bruised" LEFT side of face...* da fuq?
The question is was it necessary to shoot a unarmed man 12 times??...
I find common themes, shoot for the legs, no you don't because then you miss and hit people or objects behind a threat, and you don't stop the threat.
Hands up don't shoot, Bogus. had he not assaulted the officer or had he not threatened to assault the officer again maybe you'd have a case, a civil case, but the evidence points to the state of mind of Brown on video 5 minutes earlier in the C-store, and the eye witnesses who were recorded on cell phone video shortly after the encounter, the same witnesses who were not on camera or had a vested interest in coming up with some story for Lawyer Crump who is a travesty of American law representation.
All this leads to people burning our flag.
Burning our community businesses.
Perpetuating more violence.
Maybe we should stop following the usual suspects "black leadership" like Jessie Jackson, Crump, and Al Sharpton. Maybe the President should fucking try and lead here too.
Calling him a "pretty big guy" is an insult to Big Guys everywhere.
Sincerely, a Big Guy.
he's saying he was worried about being killed.. after all this he should be worried. this is really disgusting
Seems pretty obvious that the cop here was within standard procedure, and considering the amount of ressources allocated by the US administration to investigate no stone was left unturned.
Now, in many other countries the same procedures would not even exist - so the ferguson protesters should either focus on the current legislation authorizing cops to shoot when their life is threatened (here by hand in pocket potentially reaching for a gun [?]) or let it go ( as it would be very hard to hire cops in the violent USA). But IN NO CASE should the protestors keep focusing on a single cop - it makes them look stupid, almost as much as looting the few stores who dared open in a "bad" neighborhood and provide the few jobs that give more opportunity to change things for the better than any political speech, public hanging, or police defiance would.
GEORGE, you should ask the question to Michael Brown, IS THERE ANYTHING you would have done differently to 'not be dead"
Whether he was did what is claimed or not, had Wilson been carrying a taser gun a death could have been avoided and Michael Brown would have been apprehended. Then he could still be here to defend himself.
I am just not trying to say that Brown is completely innocent, but this situation went from a simple altercation which I am sure millions of cops have gone through before to tragic death of a person when it really didn't need to happen that way. The taser would have definitely worked in the altercation between Wilson and Brown. Cops have used tasers to get suspects off of other cops before. If Wilson was able to unholster his gun and try to shoot Brown, he could have done the same with his taser. And the taser is likely to not have jammed the way Wilson claims the gun did. And the taser would have been amazing to use if Brown was rushing or running at Wilson the way he claims. Tasing a suspect has never failed to at least slow a person down, if not completely immobilize them.
I am sure Brown is no angel. But neither is Wilson. Something could and should have been done differently to prevent a death. No one is innocent in this situation. But did Brown deserve to die for his actions? Absolutely not. There are many (of all races) who have done so much worse who are either incarcerated or walking free. Brown did not deserve to die.
Darren Wilson did the right thing as a Officer. This is a Lesson for those Tugs who try to hurt and steal from others.
The problem is not that a small-time criminal got killed by inappropriate force of a police officer. It's neither that the police is white and the criminal is black. The problem is, that the authorities said: "Well done Sir, everything is fine what you did"
Darren Wilson deserves the Medal of Honor and the Purple Heart !!! He is a brave soldier !!!
