Charges against Darren Wilson
From what I have read so far I feel that Wilson should been charged with voluntary manslaughter. The presentations have showed me that both sides were in the wrong but in the end, the person who ended up losing his life was Mike brown and Wilson should have faced repercussions. Some factors to mention that I thought was interesting was that Wilson dad was a police officer too and he was killed by a black suspect. Wilson had already harbored resentment, and when the incident occurred he acted on him emotions and ended up killing Mike. Voluntary Man slaughter is when you kill someone in the heat of passion, but had no prior intent to kill. Wilson was a cop, and was aware of how deadly the force he was using, so I think voluntary manslaughter is a fair charge to persecute Wilson with.

I agree that Darren Wilson should have been charged at least with voluntary manslaughter, even if he didn't go into the situation with the intent to kill Michael Brown it still happened and a young man lost his life because of it.
ReplyDeleteI agree due to the fact that when Mike Brown had run away he was no longer of a threat to Darren Wilson's life. Brown was 10 feet away from Wilson and already injured; it was unnecessary for Wilson to fire further shots as there was no imminent danger.
ReplyDeleteI do think that Officer Wilson should have at least been charged with voluntary manslaughter. Brown was not a threat to Wilson and was unarmed. I believe that Wilson did not intend/plan to kill Michael Brown but in the end it still happened.
