And to some degree it's no different from being smart in dealing with anybody in your life who's in a position of power and/or authority. Want to not make a living? Want to have a foreclosure on your home? Want your children to be eating ketchup sandwiches for dinner? When your arrogant/agressive boss says, "...just shut the fuck up and do it..." go ahead and tell him to take a fucking hike, or punch him in the eye. Make a habit of it, Don. See how well your life turns out for you.

Nobody said this ride was gonna be fair...at least nobody said it to me.

that could apply to Wilson also if you think about it. No matter what happens, he has ruined his career. I think an older, wiser policeman would have called in back up, or just let Brown run away, or just stopped after the first two shots. It is not like they were going to not be able to find and arrest him later. If Wilson would have been a bit more polite, or circumspect maybe Brown would be in jail and Wilson in his job.
