The police do not have the right to execute suspects, unless there is no other way of stopping them and they pose an immediate threat to the safety of others.

Michael Brown, assuming current interpretations of security footage are correct, robbed and bullied a store clerk right before he was killed by police. That may well mean he was violent and dangerous, but even violent people should be brought to trial, not gunned down.


Michael Brown had assaulted a policeman and was trying to continue the assault when the injured officer shot him in self-defense.

The militarization of the police is a real, growing threat to America. However: Brown's death was a good shoot.

"Brown's death was a good shoot.

And it had nothing to do with police militarism, despite the usual fifth-column MSM riot-inciting rhetoric.

What is applicable to the subsequent use of standard police riot control methods and equipment is the... well, lawless riots, lootings, shootings, and burnings that occurred.

Pretty much my take.

“Michael Brown had assaulted a policeman and was trying to continue the assault when the injured officer shot him in self-defense.”

That is far from confirmed at this point. If that’s what happened, then yes, it was a good shot. But I’m still waiting for confirmation about what exactly transpired before Brown was shot.
