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.

You seem to be leaving out any information that would might justify the officer's action, i.e., the claim he was attacked by Brown, who struggled for the gun, etc.

290# 6’4” have already committed multiple assaults and tried to take away the officer’s gun, so what would you have done? I asking this straight out?

So you’re saying that every police officer should be arrested after any type of shooting?

That all depends on the state your in. Here in Texas you have a right to defend yourself, others and your property. Lots of unarmed home invaders have been "put in the hole" in self defense.
