No indictment in the mike brown case
Quote:
So you tell your son he should sit there and piss his pants because the officer had the inherent right to be confrontational? Sorry but that doesn't fly. No one has the inherent right to be confrontational and that's the main problem in my eyes. My belief is that at the end of the day these are kids, and it is up to the officer of the law to be responsible for keeping control of the situation. After all that is what their job is all about. It's to protect and serve, not harass and embarrass. With this situation in Ferguson I think the officer failed his job when he got into the initial confrontation with Brown. He felt the need to establish dominance over the younger Brown. Brown being young and not really understanding the totality of his actions decided he wasn't going to be "punked" by some cop. Both parties acted poorly in this instance, but I believe it's the officers responsibility to maintain his emotions and not let the situation get the better of him. He failed to do so and thus here we are, another youth shot dead from a simple misunderstanding and miscommunication. I hope at the end of the day some good comes from this and the Brown's family wishes come true and all police officers are mandated to wear a camera on their person.

Cant stand being harrassed and embarrased, and not mature enough to handle it without getting physical? Thats troubled child in elementary school behavior, not average high school or older behavior. Agreed on one thing: GoPros. Protect the good cops and expose the bad cops. |

Re: No indictment in the mike brown case
I wouldnt put it pass cnn to have bought used cars, dress them up like cop cars and just park them in the street near the protest. Set up molotav coctail shops like limonade stands.

Re: No indictment in the mike brown case
And another thing, Micheal Brown was 18. Are people saying he's not mature enough to refrain from shoplifting and getting into a fight with a cop afterwards?
The poor kid shot by the police is on the left, the shop clerk is on the right. ![]() |

Re: No indictment in the mike brown case
I understand not bringing charges, but I am surprised. I expected them to consider the mixed testimony enough to take this to trial, if not just to appease the people. I understand not wanting that circus around. Not taking a stance on right or wrong, just a thought.
Joe, when it comes down to your advice in dealing with officers given to your son, I have one issue. Being a lawyer, I'd think you'd also make sure he understood his rights and when to refuse officers. Never let them search your car. Never tell them anything more than basic information. Never give them your phone passwords and I'd recommend encrypting and powering off your device. (Note: The police can force a biometric (e.g. fingerprint) out of you for your phone, but cannot force a passcode. Additionally, if you use an android phone Google can provide law enforcement the pattern you use, even if encrypted. Go with the numeric pin.) Lastly, I hope that this case is still the impetus for some real changes to our police force. Personally, it scares me that their word is always taken as the truth in a court of law. I want to see body cameras on every officer with hefty penalties for the device being "broken" or "malfunctioning" during a controversial stop. These cameras quell the crazy on both sides of it. It'll help the officers keep their cool during stressful situations and will reduce citizens being aggressive towards police officers. We've been spending decades militarizing our police force - it's time to bring them back to being public servants.

If you understand why they are not bringing charges ,then why take it to court , just to sacrifice a police officer to keep the others happy ? So you would be fine if the kid had gotten the cops gun and shot him ?
