National Action Network, Attorneys For Michael Brown’s Family Call For Arrest Of Darren Wilson
“Either we need to redefine what probable cause means and say that the police are not subject to it or we arrest him right away just as we would with any other person accused of committing a crime,” said Rev. Carlton Lee of Flood Christian Church and the St. Louis Chapter of the National Action Network.
On the one month anniversary of Michael Brown’s death, Flood stood with the family of Michael Brown Jr., a member of the family’s legal team and a few dozen concerned citizens in front of Ferguson Police headquarters to ask that the Ferguson Police Officer who killed Michael Brown Jr. be placed under arrest.
“Either we need to redefine what probable cause means – and say that the police are not subject to it or we arrest him right away just as we would with any other person accused of committing a crime,” Lee said. “We do not need an indictment in order to arrest someone. You are arrested with information. If I walk in somewhere and I shoot someone six times that is unarmed, the police would immediately arrest me. They would take me into custody, they would take my picture, they would fingerprint me and I would be waiting until proper charges are filed against me. We are wondering why Officer Wilson has been granted immunity and been able to skip over certain processes.”
