and if pigs had wings they could maybe fly, too...
Stealing cigars and getting belligerent with a cop...sit in jail awhile. But attempted murder - not a good idea and it’s an even worse idea to attempt murder on an armed cop....
If officer Wilson had been a 5’2” female cop, this story would’ve end differently but I’m betting Holder and Obamas people would still be in Michael Browns corner.
In this case, I fully support Officer Darren Wilson.
No arm chair quarterbacking, or second guessing.
I do not support obama, holder, or any other racebaiters. And the msm has been generally wicked and evil in all of this.
Yes, he did.

The policeman was every bit as tall as the robber and more mature (supposedly). Still he didn’t need to think he could take on two thugs at the same time by himself.
RE: According to Juan Williams on Fox, the officer when he feared for his life should have just run and driven away ...
Yep, and the fire fighters if they fear for their lives should simply not go to a home or building that’s on fire.
And our soldiers should just let terrorists kill if they fear for their lives.
And Police officers should just abandon dangerous streets if they fear being shot at.
And millions and millions of dollars in damage because the cop didn’t handle it right.
yep
Apparently the author is a police officer too.
What a stupid question. We all know the protestors are supposed to be Jury and Executioner.
perfect response
I'm a bit curious what the benefit would be.
Then there's the fact that Dunphy's hindsight scenario assumes pretty much infinite manpower resources that would need to be deployed every time a criminal is a super-special, jacked-up-on-drugs jerk. Forget that.
Sometimes it's better all around if you take out mad dogs on the spot before they attack someone else. That's why Officer Wilson is a hero. He was out-numbered, out-weighed, and out-crazied, and he did the right thing. He won a round for civilization. May we all be worthy of his example.
“And millions and millions of dollars in damage because the cop didn’t handle it right.”
That was obama, holder, other racebaiters, and the msm. They created a narrative that inflamed the situation and which gave other thugs the excuse to get free televisions, booze, and swisher sweets. Without the false narrative that obama, holder, other racebaiters, and the msm, created, then “millions and millions of dollars in damage” would not have happened.
This has nothing to do with the officer.
If a prosecutor in a grand jury knows there are 20 witnesses that support Wilson's story and there are 4 witnesses that contradict Wilson's story, then it is his obligation to present all those witnesses.
Now if Wilson's side of the story is poorly supported by some of the witnesses, then it's not his obligation to call those witnesses.
yldstrk, yldstrk, yldstrk,
The policeman was seated in his vehicle when attacked, repeatedly hit, and fighting to keep his weapon from being taken away. Wilson’s height was not relevant then.
Speculation about what Wilson might have done after that instead of shooting the violent assailant who was rushing toward him is just Monday morning quarterbacking.
I'm sure the burned-out business owners in Ferguson would have been happy to cover the salary.
The article should have been titled, "How Michael Brown Might Have Been Arrested without Wilson Having to Fight for his Life". My reasonable concern is for the person being attacked, the cop, while that thought doesn't seem to haved crossed the authors mind.
If I was Wilson I would have gotten out of my car at a greater distance from Brown, if that was even possible. Wilson may have unnececeraily risked his own life by getting boxed into his own car. Once Wilson was out of his car he was in control of the situation.
The writing is a pile of crap with a little ice-cream tossed on top.
If I had the power, I would have brought Brown back to life..... then killed him again. His death was not a tragedy, it was time for that POS to die.
I think about the lives and pain that may have been saved by taking the garbage out that day.
The not-so-gentle giant didn't think twice about attacking an armed cop, even while the armed cop was shooting at him. How much of a deterrent do you really think two cops would be.
I’m sort of miffed that we can’t just wheel out a guillotine and be done with the enemies of reality like Jeffrey Toobin and the execrable Washington Post. As a conservative I value process and not resorting means-to-an-end thinking but it really does draw things out sometimes.
