O’Reilly Would Ask Darren Wilson if It Was ‘Wise’ to Confront Michael Brown Again

Bill O’Reilly wants to interview Officer Darren Wilson, and he really wants to ask him why he made the decision to confront Michael Brown a second time when Brown had started to run away from him.

O’Reilly said he could understand “the intensity of the situation” between Brown and Wilson, but if he had the chance to speak to Wilson, he would say, “You know, as a police officer, you had backup coming. Wouldn’t it have been wiser not to confront him again?”

In his interview with ABC News, George Stephanopoulos actually asked Wilson that question. And Wilson told him, “My job isn’t to just sit and wait.”
