Basically, when Wilson told Brown to get the eff out of the street, he was playing Mr Macho. A smart cop would have just followed him home, called for backup and perhaps arrested Brown without ending up losing his job and getting Ferguson burned down.
This is so beyond ignorant of what law enforcement does, its staggering. NO POLICE OFFICER simply follows someone home. When they see something, they are trained to deal with it, right then and there. It's not macho, its protocol
And you know what keeps getting ignored, in not just this case, but the one in NY?......no one is talking about compliance. When an officer indicates you need to do something, you do it.....period. If you feel "disrespected" or something bad was done by the officer, you bring it up to their watch commander afterwards. You don't tell the officer to just leave you alone. And you sure as hell don't charge them. You comply.
What's happening, right now, with all this attention folks like Obama & Holder are creating, with the idea that somehow the Police need to do a better job of being....less threatening, I guess, is enabling future situations, where-as, folks will feel that compliance is merely an option.....and your going to have far more of these incidents. This is such an important concept, I believe, I'm going to copy it for a new thread title.....if anyone wants to opine on this tangent, there
