Michael Brown, Jr. is and never was the problem.

The point of contention that is suppose to indict Michael Brown, Jr. in resisting arrest and therefore justifying his death, is nonsense.

I don't care if he was struggling for his freedom in a police car. What was he doing in a police car in the first place? The offense he was being accused of before Wilson escalated it into a life and death confrontation for Michael Brown, Jr. was jaywalking. Wilson was in over his head and had absolutely no authority to turn a jaywalking offense into a death sentence.

Why don't we all just jaywalk right now and have it turned into a death sentence? Why not? Seems reasonable to me that cops are suppose to enforce the law to the nth degree, right? Even if it means a beloved son doesn't show up for college the next day. What the hell who cares?

The only threat Michael Brown, Jr. posed was to himself. He was young, full of himself after finishing high school and beginning at college, what young man would not have been full of himself? He was pulling boners. That is not a death sentence, that is a good lecture by his parents about the seriousness of the education he was about to begin. 

Michael Brown, Jr. was a threat to no one. He was not a threat to Wilson or anyone else. Wilson is a lousy cop full of hate for anyone that doesn't live up to the letter of the law. Wilson is the problem and he is the only problem with the exception of his bosses and the government that legislates death when filming an officer at work.
