(3,891 posts)What proof do you have? I'm just curious because you say he's being watched carefully. By whom? Every cop in the state not needed for other duties was in Ferguson. Remember, the police are trusted by other police. Two cops who have never seen each other before will automatically trust one another in a dangerous situation. It is the us versus them mentality in practice. Look at Ferguson again. Cops from all over, all over the county, and from neighboring communities came together and immediately formed a cohesive unit. They were all armed almost exactly the same, equipped the same, and wore the same combat trousers and boots.
There was no problems with integration of forces, because everyone was trained exactly alike. There was no difficulty because while everyone did not know everyone else, that would be impossible, they all knew that these were other cops, they were the "us" and the disorganized rabble out there was the "them".
I find it unlikely to say the least that anyone is "watching" Darren Wilson. I think they have his cell number, and a statement like "I'm going to my Brother's house" as a location. When they want to talk to him, they call his phone. He meets at the local police station, and goes over his statement with them again. Or perhaps they go to the Brother's house. That isn't being watched carefully. That is someone being where they said they would be. They are, right up until they aren't.
