I'm under the belief after finding out what a thug he was, that armed or not, if you physically assault a police officer, you will be put down.
So you believe that a police officer has the right to put American citizens down if they are assaulted? Do we all have the same right? What if the police officer assaults you? Should you have the same right to put the police officer down? I know some cops would love the power to play god. Most I know would not.
If the cop was threatened and used deadly force I am okay with that. I am not ok with emptying a weapon into a suspect that is already down.
Just because someone is a cop doesn't give them the authority to shoot people. Now at least 1 shot was fired from inside the car. Brown was then out of the car after that point. Witnesses (claim) that the cop then got out of the car and shot Brown multiple times. I don't want cops who behave that way on the job.
Just heard this "They release these pictures it's like they trying to distract us from the killing...." Hahahaha wow wow wow.
Also that cop who wants to be the next governor said we gotta make sure we don't burn down our own neighborhood. Ok so we go burn down whiteys neighborhood then?
Narratives already written. We live in such a terrible Nation. We are oppressed. White cop kills black man we riot!
Hearsay from the spouse of the cop? I guess I'll take her word for it over the various "eye witness" accounts I've heard so far:
-they shot him in the back while he was running away.
-After shooting him in the back while he was running away he came up and shot him in the head "execution style"
-He was on his knees with his hands in the air saying "don't shoot me"
-He was standing with his hands up saying "don't shoot me"
After the ridiculous circus of the George Zimmerman witch hunt, I'll trust what I see coming out from the authorities over what the lynch mobs say.

Is it likely, even very likely, that a police officer gave chase in pursuit of a petty criminal and that said criminal had a very serious lapse of judgment and grabbed for the police officers gun?
Do citizens have the right to shoot LEO's?
Or anybody in the street over fleeing from a crime for that matter?
It may be callous....but stupid games win stupid prizes and this kid got the top shelf.
