Mike Brown was gunned down by officer Darren Wilson on August 9th 2014, that sent everyone into a uproar in Ferguson, Mo. August 13,2013 the protest have gotten so out of control they start sending tanks, highway patrol, all police from every municipalities. This particular day August 13 2014 that is the day the police were shooting the protesters with rubber bullets,throwing tear gas and arresting them as well. Edward Crawford was amongst the protestors which he as a right to be, the officers threw tear gas in the The perimeter as to where he was standing along with small children and their parents. When the tear gas came close to harming the kids where Edward was standing he picked it up and threw it away from the children unsure if anyone was hit by it. Days, weeks, even months, and now a whole year has passed the Saint Louis City Counselor Peter Krane wants to pursue charges. The charges are as follows interfering with a police officer and assault ,They are saying a officer was knocked to the ground from the tear gas. Everyone as well as I know that IF any officers were hit by the particular tear gas he threw let alone injured period the media would have been all over it. I do not think Edward Crawford should be charged with anything, because one he was protecting small children(which he has 3 of his own) he didn't physically harm anyone, and MOST of all its a year later AFTER the fact. Edward Crawford made history in MOST eyes because of his courage to fight back and stand up for what he believed in. photographer Robert Cohen from Saint Louis Post-Dispatch capture the intense moment and it become a iconic picture which I believe is why they are just NOW pursuing charges, I believe they feel threaten let alone disrespected because a young man disobeyed the law (in their eyes) but in Reality he was just saving a child from getting hurt from the tear gas. I DO NOT think Edward Crawford deserves to be charged so help me get PETER KRANE TO dropped all charges.
