Re: Mob Mentality: Ferguson
If all accounts to believe, that 18yo young man was not profiled. He robbed a convenience store (caught on tape) and was intercepted by COP while trying to get away. He then instead of turning himself in, attacked the cop and tried to gain access to his weapon. Struggle went on for around 30 seconds, he then tried to ran away, COP came out of car and followed him. He then stopped, turned back and tried to rush towards cop again and was shot at that point.
Its pretty simple to me. Once you do not follow COPs instructions (and you attack them on top of it), all bets are OFF. Cops has to make split second decision which can make a difference b/w their life and death.
Not true. Wilson did not know about the robbery. The store owner did not call the cops and said nothing was stolen. By officer’s own testimony, he stopped the guys because they were walking in the middle of the road. Not for the robbery.
