The Day Ferguson Cops Were Caught in a Bloody Lie

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025891482

My nephew is a 29 year cop said this about Ferguson.

Not only is he a 29 year cop, he is the third highest ranking officer in the county that he works in. I asked him about this. Being the Republican that he is, I expected him to jump to Darin Wilson's defense. He had this to say.

He would not say it was a racial thing because he doesn't know. He did say he read all of the reports and the grand jury testimony.

1-He said at very least Wilson is completely incompetent. That you never get out of the car by yourself if you know there is going to be a physical confrontation with an unarmed person. Especially if you were in Wilson's words, "afraid" of the guy. When he went to get out of the car he was not expecting a physical incident, the physical incident started when Big Mike pushed the car door closed as officer Wilson tried to get out.

2- He said Wilson should have let Brown go, followed him as far as he could in the car as he called for back up. If he had to, arrest him later. Not after brown attacked him, and while officer Wilson could have ignored Brown at any point up till then we must remember that this think all happened in the space of less than a minute and if the police lose control of the streets they cant do their jobs

3-He had no business firing once Brown was down on the ground. He fired four shots too many even if you believe his story. THe grand jury and the prosecutor say otherwise

4- It is unheard of to leave the guy laying in the street for four and a half hours. It is unheard of for a crime scene to incite a mob scene immediately and for days weeks and months later as it did in this case. The pickup guy would have been in and out two hours earlier if the scene had been safe. He was there, waiting. When shots are fired and the crowd is yelling " kill the cops" and dead guy lying in the road is not a high priority. He is not going to cause any more problems

5- If all of this was in accordance to Wilson's training, an idiot trained him. All of this? Wilson was not even on the scene as Brown lay in the road, he was back at the station and the NYT ran a piece where experts in policing said that for the most part Officer Wilson followed policing SOP, i will take their word for it over some unknown cop.

6-Brown's family will get a huge settlement from Ferguson because if this goes to civil trail it will cost them many millions more. Has nothing to do with whether this was a good shoot, but the city has no money to give. The residence of the city have no money either, poverty is as you might remember a huge part of the problem in Ferguson.

What my nephew thinks happened is that Wilson got into an argument with the guy, got out of his car to whip his ass. Quickly realized he bit off more than he could chew, so he shot the guy. Officer Wilson was attacked before he got out of the car. A better understanding of events would probably be a good idea before running off at the mouth

Let us assume that to be true.
If next week the same thing that befell Wilson
happened to a racist trigger happy thug
and then, on another occasion, it happened again to an anti-racist,
in both instances the victim of the impending brutality will have the same, EQUAL RIGHT of self defense.
No man 's right to self defense is affected by whether he is a racist or he is an anti-racist or he is neutral qua race.

EVERYONE, like Wilson, has the absolute right to defend himself. Do u dispute that, Izzy ?
