You only believe one side of the story? I believe the truth is somewhere between the two stories.
Even if you believed everything the cop said, his actions still aren't justified. This isn't a situation like George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin where there was some possibility that the accused acted out of self-defense. After Brown ran away, there's no longer any risk of imminent harm. And a jury will hold him to a higher standard because he's an LEO.
Ferguson Riots-why aren't business owners defending their property?
The animals are on the rampage again, destroying property and lives every night for the last several nights. Never mind that it's often in their own neighborhoods and it's future they are screwing up. I have to wonder, why aren't the honest business owners and other residents standing up to these mobs? Where are the locals with firearms to defend their property and lives? Are we returning to the way of the jungle, where the most barbaric mobs are allowed to rule? Or are the victims standing up and we just aren't seeing any reporting on it?

There is a possibility that what he did will end up being justified. That's not really why we are seeing the reaction here. It's really not about this one instance. It's about instance after instance where those in charge of enforcing laws are not held accountable to those same laws.
If this had been a singular incidence we would not be having these kinds of reactions. People are getting tired of a different standard being applied to those in charge of enforcing the laws.
Insurance or not, I'll defend my property, and family from harm.
