The perpetrator not having a weapon is meaningless. If you beat someone unconscious with your fists, you'll be still be charged with "assault with a deadly weapon." Your body can be a deadly weapon and if you charge a police officer, armed or unarmed, the police officer has the right to start shooting.
So then, all Officer Wilson will have to prove is that Brown was charging him?
Curious what evidence will prove that.
Can't simply think that because the guy was built like a tank. Even if he did something in the
police car, once free and fleeing, there is no more charging, Yes?
Because those eyewitnesses saw something that didn't happen.
He wasn't gunned down in cold blood while running away.
If the law operated the way the "people" wanted that officer would have been executed 24 hours after it hit the news as a cold blooded racist murderer.
I wouldn't say that I support Wilson, I don't know him and I don't know what happened that night. I wasn't even paying attention to this story until the embellishment of Brown as a "gentle giant" and this perfectly saintly angel in the media set off my BS detectors full blast. I'm for the truth having its day, for the story being reported evenly and for people not automatically assuming that the officer was guilty.
This could go either way, if the officer acted inappropriately, charge him and have him do jail time as a result. If the officer was defending himself against an uncooperative and aggressive suspect and felt that his life was in danger, than exonerate him and leave him to live his life in peace.

Is this a case of "guilty until proven innocent" here ?
These people that feel you need to just wound might have a different story if someone broke into their house and they had to use a gun. Will their first thought be to shoot him in the foot ?
The difference is in your home you do NOT have fellow cops there assisting you. If Brown charges, his partner/other cops on scene stop Brown.
