Use of Force
For a law enforcement officer, one of the most difficult decisions you will make is deciding what force must be used in a split second decision. That is the decision Officer Darren Wilson had to make on August 9th, 2014, when he shot and kill 18 year old Michael Brown. People are split on whether Wilson actions are justifiable or not, causing many riots against Wilson on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri. My stance is the situation is that Darren Wilson is not guilty of murder because it was self defence.
Many factors come into play when it comes to use of force. An important factor in this case was size. In an interview with George Stephanopoulos, Darren Wilson said “I mean, the way I've described it, it's like a 5-year-old
