Even more remarkable was that the two who underwent the simulation knew they were not in harm's way and yet they still fired.

Spend a day in most Police Officer shoes...........

Officer Darren Wilson when in his car : "Get on the fkin sidewalk !!"
Officer Darren Wilson when fighting with Michael Brown : "I'll shoot you !!"
Officer Darren Wilson after the fight, standing 30 feet from Michael Brown according to the police report, then fired six shots including two in the head.

I know the stormfront types do not care about any of this is.They just cheer whenever a minority is killed, or will derail the conversation like in the thread about the 3 muslims killed by one of them.

In what reality did that happen? Your narrative is false.

Stop it please. 30 feet is a conservative estimate.Several people said it was more than that. But to be accurate, I should have specified that the final shot to the head was fired 8 to 10 feet away. That makes it justifiable, now doesn't it ?

"Brown eventually stopped and turned and made a "grunting noise" and started running at him with his right hand under his shirt in his waistband. Brown ignored Wilson's commands to stop and get on the ground, so Wilson fired multiple shots at him, paused and yelled at him to get on the ground again, but Brown was still charging at him and had not slowed down. Wilson then fired another set of shots, but Brown was still running at him. When Brown was about eight to ten feet away, Wilson fired more shots, with one of those hitting Brown in the head"

Documents describe Ferguson officer's version of fatal shooting - CBS News

" The officer was not asked why it was that he should have feared for his own life when he was standing pointing a gun at an unarmed teenager 30 feet away."

If you give police the habit of killing unarmed minorities without consequences, soon they'll start shooting you too.

Oh wait. They already are.

Just some hours ago, the police in WA state chased on foot a man who had thrown rocks at them. He ran then raised his hands, tried to surrender, before being killed with several shots :

A few years ago, the police in WA state killed a native american man crossing the street minding his own business. He was carving wood with a pocket knife when an officer told him to put the knife down. The officer then shot him several times. He said the man looked at him angrily and made a grunt noise (like M.Brown).

Good.

It's very very irritating when punks walk down the center of the street thinking their ambivalence to people just trying to drive by makes them cool.

They needed someone to tell them to get on the f'n sidewalk.

I see no problem with a cop telling someone who is fighting them and going for their gun that they are going to get shot.

I call that a fair warning.

And?

If the thug had complied and not acted as though he was about to start round 2, he'd be arrested for his stupidity and not dead due to his brashness.

You may want to watch the video, because at the end when he turned toward them, that is when they fired. They did not shoot him when he was running away with his hands up.

Anybody watching this video and thinking the shooting was justified must be out of their freaking mind.
