Assuming that he's even guilty (I guess innocent until proven guilty only applies to cops, huh?), how do you know what he "knew" about what he could have been charged with or that he was even thinking about how stealing could have affected his scholarship or admission in college? How do you know he wasn't as clueless and careless as all the little white teenagers who steal crap from convenience stores who don't think about the consequences of their actions?He knew he could have gotten charged with more than simple theft though. It would have been robbery and assault at least. He possibly faced robbery in the 2nd degree, which is a Class B felony, and at least assault in the 3rd degree, which is a misdemeanor. He couldn't really know what anyone told the cops. At the very least, assuming he actually did pay for the cigars, he had to know that pushing the clerk could be assault. But since his friend said that they had robbed the store, then he faced the higher charge as well, and knew it was a possibility. Was he likely to keep a scholarship if he was charged with a felony level robbery? Doubtful. He also likely knew such a charge could lose him the scholarship and/or admission to college. To some people, that is worth charging an armed officer. Not everyone thinks rationally, especially in situations like this one.
You don't. You're speculating a bunch of crap and projecting onto Brown and then you have the gall to criticize others for doing the same to Wilson. Hilarious.
