Well there is one less mean ass “gentle giant” walking around the neighborhood terrorizing people in convenience stores.

Comment? Well, the definition of hero has become quite diluted. A cop doing his job is now considered one? True heroism is a rare thing, but all and sundry can now be heroes simply by doing the necessary.

Anyways, I agree with the article but find it interesting how everyone is considered a hero nowadays. The chap who threw himself on a grenade to save his mates - that's a hero. The guy who jumped onto rail tracks to rescue someone who was a stranger - that's a hero. Wilson? No, not really.

Missouri law relating to a police officer's use of deadly force.

Hero, probably not, but a guy doing a tough job, in a place where many stupid people view you as an enemy, and from all that I can tell doing that job adequately.

Well whether Wilson is a hero I don’t know.

But there is one thing I am certain of—the people trying to lynch him are the exact opposite of heroes, they are disgusting and vile human garbage and the worst this country has to offer.

It's very bad to beat an armed cop in the head.

  That's something we should all learn from this story.

    So please don't beat cops in the head - especially when they have guns.

While Wilson probably saved a lot of others some grief in the future, it's hard to term someone defending their own life a hero. Now, if there had been a kitten or puppy involved, the "hero" term would be most apt.

I think Wilson did what any sane person would do under similar circumstances, he met deadly force with deadly force and preserved his own life.

Darren Wilson is not a hero....he is a victim of a rush to judgment mentality of the current administration. Ever since Obama took office, he has continually made asinine comments prematurely without knowing the facts. And several of these comments have involved police officer conduct. We put police officers on the street to maintain peace. Sure some of them are bad apples just like in any profession. But when you are on the street on a daily basis to control the thugs, you must have the ability to defend yourself, otherwise you don’t get to go home to your family after your work shift.

I would have shot that thug, too.
Maybe dropping more of these bastards will cause some of them to think twice about being "gangsta" wannabe's.

Dont try to fight.
