This is probably the worst time for anything else negative regarding Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson to be released to the press, but a new video has leaked depicting his demeanor with a suspect in October 2013 and it is not good. Wilson reportedly showed up on Mike Arman's property to issue a court summons for derelict vehicles. Arman pulls out his cellphone and informs Wilson that he is going to record everything, making it sound like he was already leery of the local police department.
In the 15-second clip, you can clearly hear Wilson tell Arman, "If you don't stop taking pictures, I'm gonna lock your ass up."
Wilson tells him that he has no right to film him and physically moves the camera. Here is the issue in the police report filed by Wilson: His depiction of the entire incident is basically disproved by the video. Arman was charged with failure to comply until his attorney saw the video. He was also charged with violating pitbull violations, which is a bit funny because the dog was actually a bull dog.
Basically, what this video does when placed beside Wilson's police report is prove that his account is not necessarily an honest one — even in this minor issue. As it stands now, Wilson is waiting to learn his fate after shooting Michael Brown, reportedly in self-defense, last August.
If he is indicted, then Wilson will likely be fired from the police force, but if he is cleared of criminal wrongdoing, then he can return to active duty immediately. Given the hatred for him within the community, Wilson may have a target on his back if he returns to work, don't you think? Comment below.
