Fear for his life.

Editor,

If Darren Wilson feared for his life, all he had to do was drive away, stop down the block, call for back-up, and keep an eye on Mike Brown until more cops arrived. He is supposed to be a professional police officer.

Instead he stupidly tried to collar Mike Brown while sitting in his car, a patently ridiculous thing to do, which is why many people do not believe Mike Brown's friend, Mr. Johnson's, version of events.

Darren Wilson stupidly tried to collar Mike Brown while sitting in his car and was outraged when Mike Brown struggled to break free. That is why he shot him in the hand and why he gunned him down after he got out of his car. Darren Wilson's story stinks.
