OMG -- you are so ignorant (of the facts) that it's just sad.
How is a 6'4" police officer with a gun, mace and a car who shoots an unarmed 6'4" African-American teenager for no good reason TWELVE TIMES (i.e., lethal force was NOT necessary) a stand up guy? He was obviously not trained well and exercised very poor judgment. Using unnecessary force was not "doing his job" -- plenty of much more dangerous criminals have been brought into custody alive and given an actual trial.
The simple fact that you call him "Mikey" and call Darren Wilson "Officer Wilson" screams racism.
1. Stop the nonsense with the "no good reason".......Mikey (because the media wants to treat him like a wayward teen, not a thug) was beating the sh!tt out of the cop so get your facts straight. His friend refers to him as "Big Mike" so get the little innocent kid image out of your head.
2. 12 shots? Really? It has been well publicized that it was 6 shots but let's not let the facts confuse your argument.
3. Not a racist situation. Mikey was a THUG, he wasn't coming home from the library he was fresh out of a strong arm ROBBERY so he had plenty of reason to fight the cops.
Lastly, neither you or I were there but I'll agree with the local cops, the local prosecutor and of course the grand jury's findings that Officer Wilson was within his rights to shoot poor Mikey! I'll say it again, Mikey was a thug who brought his fists to a gun fight and lost!
How can someone say this cop is/was good when he shoots 6 times the guy who doesn't have any weapon? He shouldn't have been a cop. I am glad this A-hole is gone.
You watch too many movies.....reality is the 300lb. thug couldn't be stopped with a single shot!
Sure a knee shot would have ended the day differently but you have to ask if the kid was shot at close range in the hand (struggling inside the vehicle) and still didn't quit fighting then what would have stopped him short of a head shot?
1. Shot one in hand (pretty strong warning shot)
2. Shots 2-5, wow this cop means business (still no stopping from Big Mike)
3. Shot 6 (head shot)......game over
An NFL linebacker could not have pulled MB's head into the car. Reaching through a window and grabbing someone this bigs head.
I'm 6'5, 290 - the size of MB. No one pulls my head into a car and MB is 40 years younger. Sitting in a car he could not even reach that high or have the leverage.
You keep adding to your fantasy scenarios.
Um, I never said he pulled Mike's head into the car, Dorian did.
And since neither one of us were there and Mike Brown, unfortunately, was murdered in a hail of gunfire and can't tell HIS story, we will never fully know what happened on that fateful day.
