Michael Brown asked for what he got. Darren Wilson defended himself and that was that. But if I were a Garner family member I would want that chokehold cop's head on a pike.

All they had to do is ask him to move on and the whole thing is defused.

1. Approach suspect and advise him of complaint.

2. Write suspect a ticket for the misdemeanor infraction.

3. Advise suspect that if he remains or returns after being forbidden, he may be arrested.

Everybody wins.

I still think it was overpolicing, but race wasn't a factor (certainly not an overriding one) - the fact that he got a little handslappy with them and was 400 pounds, looking robust and dangerous, while being quite fragile in the grand scheme of things was the combination that got him killed.

He shouldn't have resisted - but, it is a shame and so avoidable. Cops need better training in discretion for issues like this, as well as conflict de-escalation and resolution skills.
