"Sure looks like a case of self defense for the officer."

You sure would think so, but even here on FR their are plenty of FReepers with ropes in their hands for Officer Wilson.

Myself, I'm just holding Officer Wilson to the same standard he'd apply to everyone else. Meaning that if you or I shot an unarmed person six times and twice in the head then we'd be under arrest and we'd have already been arraigned and looking forward to 'splainin' ourselves in court. Support the cops all you want, but if you were to trade places with Officer Wilson you'd be up sh*t creek without a paddle and you know it.

Yep. There are some that hate the police even though they have the thankless job of cruising hellholes like Ferguson. We need all the facts. Could be the police action was perfectly justified OR could have been excessive. It all depends on what Brown was doing at the time - charging or kneeling?

That’s pretty well much BS. Most just want to know the truth of what happened, not some choreographed release of selective information by one side, then the other.

I believe one thing though, once brown violated the Cops space and went for the cops gun, he was committing suicide. I don’t care who what or where you are, you try taking a cops firearm and you’re going to get shot until you are dead.

Therein lies the real problem. Not the fact that cops can do that, it comes with the job. It’s the people they’re hiring and giving that job to. That’s the problem.
