I give police a lot of leeway…a lot…and a lot of respect…until you walk in their shoes…you have no idea what they have to deal with…when a cop tells me something…all I say is “yes sir and no sir”…it’s an extremely tough job…and I respect their authority…
This constant media/protester labeling of Michael Brown as a child…is so misleading…this was not a child… this was a full grown man 6’5...weighing 292 pounds at the time of his death…that is a huge man…NFL lineman size…his size coupled with his friend Dorian Johnson standing right there is pretty intimidating I’m sure…
I’m 6’4, 215 pounds…I owned a restaurant for 27 years…the first two years it was a 24 hour establishment…at 2AM every night…it was loaded with drunks…
before the restaurant…I had been in 2-3 fights in my whole life…grade school and high school fights…the kind where you say I’ll meet you after school behind the gymnasium…the kind where somebody says “uncle” when they give up…
at the restaurant…it was totally different…these were real fights...these people were out to hurt me…I would have really hated to have to deal with this 292 pound "child" and his buddy on my own…
Brown comes off as a “bonfide thug” to me…when that little store keeper attempted to stop him from leaving after he stole the cigarillos…I thought Brown was gonna knock him out…here’s the video…watch it til the end…

I don’t steal…when a cop tells me to get out of the street…I say yes sir and get out of the street…this all could have been avoided…
In their struggle…when Brown went for his gun…I’m sure Wilson construed that as an attempt to kill him…
The court made a huge mistake in delivering the verdict at night…I saw an interview…a General…either military or Army Reserve…said this was a tactical mistake giving the crowd/protestors the cover of night…it should have been announced in the morning…in full daylight…
While this is tragic…forgetting the theft crime…this could have all been avoided by showing the cop a little respect…
I think the public is grossly misinformed on what happened that night…4 eye witness’s perjured themselves by saying Wilson shot Brown in the back…he never did…I think the community is just totally swayed by these erroneous accounts of the truth…
When a cop tells me to do something…I do it…
Here is an interesting story of Dorian Johnson’s account of what happened that night…
