Allegedly got attacked. That is, after all, the whole controversy here.
There was no controversy until the cop stopped him for walking in the street.
If the cop had just kept his sorry redneck ass in the car and drove past Michael Brown and Dorian Johnson, the witness who has yet to be interviewed by the FPD, then none of this would have happened, correct?
There is a reason we have laws against walking in the middle of the street.
If you are on your way to work, and a bunch if idiots are loitering in the street, and you cant get past them, what are you gonna do? Find another way around? Call the cops? What if a bunch of idiot kids thinks it'd be funny to block a major roadway by standing on it?
See, there is a reason we have that law, to prevent those situations. I was a cop in Atlanta for 8 years, and this shit happened EVERY DAMN DAY. Idiots just hanging out in the middle of the street.
And hundreds of times over those 8 years, I'd roll my window down and yell "Get out of the road". And they almost always did. Every now and then one may talk shit or flip me off, and slowly start easing away.
Something went wrong for this cop, on this incident, one I'm sure he has done hundreds of times before.
Don't be shocked when the truth comes out that the "kid" attacked him.
