I believe that is what I said.........however, they wont just consider whether or not he was armed; they will consider the totality of the circumstances.
The officer obviously suffered no life threatening injury during the first altercation.
You didn't answer my question. He suffered a serious injury if the reports coming out now are true. Not to mention that that punch or any further punches could have killed him. People die in fist fights from punches to the head.
Is your position that the officer is required to keep risking the suspect breaking his bones rather than fire his weapon?
Then there will be more dead black people. I believe there were more than 50 people killed during the Rodney King riots, all black. Makes a lot of sense right?
They most certainly were protesters. With a bullhorn calling for Officer Wilson "dead". FACT.
Does it really matter whether they are protestors or not. Anyone is free to call for Officer Wilson dead.
Not like anyone is going to be able to kill him and take that into court as a defense.
They are exercising their First Amendment Rights and while it may be distasteful and they would appear less like blood thirsty animals if they made up signs calling for murder 1 and death penalty, the Constitution does not require you to be literate and tasteful to speak your mind.

No, they're not. It's called inciting violence.
