(29,322 posts)He doesn't agree with Wilson shooting him but he is addressing another issue but doesn't blame the kid but the circumstances that led him to believe that behavior was appropriate.
As far as Wilson
I believe that Ferguson officer should be punished and serve time. He used excessive force on a human being who was merely a child. He was a baby, man. The boy was walking in the middle of the street when the police supposedly told him to get the f--k on the sidewalk. If you dont listen to that, after just having pushed a storeowner, youre asking for trouble. But youre not asking to be killed. Some of these youth feel hunted and preyed upon, and thats why that officer needs to be punished.
I disagreed with Cosby so I disagree with his agreement but I can't make an issue of this specific topic Pharrell is mentioning.
On edit - the statement is in response to a question about the surveillance video which makes it even more difficult for me to make an issue of it.
