whether darren committed a criminal act left aside, and just taking his actions on that day, darren wilson is an idiot, or a hero wannabe. He let a known suspect get within inches of him when he had a vehicle to act as a barrier. He had backup coming, within seconds that he was aware of and he did not wait on the backup. After getting his ass handed to him, and feeling like a child against a giant, his own description, he still does not wait for backup. If brown had a knife wilson would be dead, he f-d up, let's throw any hero worship that ignored protocol which helped spark millions in dollars of damage.
Police work is not where a person should fantasize about being a hero, just do the damn job. Sometimes people become heroes because they do the right thing at the right time, they don't plan on being heroes. Wilson was no hero, he was a moron with a badge. Even if he was justified in shooting brown, he f-d up.
Eta in 1972 agent pete lackey was killed in his vehicle by a drug suspect, stabbed to death by the suspect through a open window in his vehicle. The tueller drill is preached for a reason, don't be a effing hero. Do not let a known dangerous suspect walk up to your open window, and certainly do not back your vehicle up to the suspect.
The hero worship of this moron/wilson makes me want to barf, especially from people who know better.
