Officer Wilson "Extraordinary Service in the Line of Duty" finally explained and more troubling. [View all]

Video of the presentation shown on Yahoo: http://news.yahoo.com/photos-ferguson-officer-darren-wilson-received-police-award-earlier-this-year-021255893.html

After stopping a "suspicious vehicle" he reached inside and took the keys. I asked my son who is a Police Officer who does that? His answer "Someone who does not care if they get hurt". That runs contrary to any Police training my son ever received.

Out of control Police.
