What I am believing has NOTHING to do with him, but only with the officer. I actually think every single party in this mess is guilty of plenty. Don’t act like I’m defending his behavior, I’m not. I’m saying that the cop shouldn’t have executed him, that what he did, did not rise to the level of the death penalty. I’m hoping that some how, some way, there’s some excuse for the cop to have shot him down. It just doesn’t look like it at this moment.

The available evidence as of now most certainly refutes what you are saying. It will be more certain when the coroner releases its report showing the single fatal hole in the front of Mr. Brown's carcass, fired at very close range, while Mr. Brown was atop the officer, pushing the officer backward into the police car pounding on the left side of the officers head, while trying to get the officer's handgun.

That is a very substantial case for the use of deadly force in self defense. The disparity in size justifies the use of deadly force in self defense. Mr. Brown (at any size) as the aggressor justifies the use of deadly force in self defense. Mr. Brown as the aggressor, with an accomplice close by, justifies the use of deadly force in self defense.

Even if Mr. Brown had ceased his aggravated assault and was trying to flee with one hole in the front of his carcass, the use of deadly force was justified (from any direction) to stop this thug who had already proven himself to be a threat to the public safety.

For one thing, if the shot to the front, the first shot, was fatal, I could understand this killing. That’s not the case.
I just disagree with you that there was any further danger to the cop. The evidence isn’t pointing that way. I know you want to believe that, but there isn’t.

Wait for the coroner report.
From more recent reports:
So far it sounds like the first shot was dead center, up close, while the giant thug was pushing the officer down and back into his car, and trying to get his firearm. Then the thug ran away a few steps, then turned around to taunt the officer, then charged the officer. Officer fired several rounds into the attacking thug, probably center mass. The final round was a head shot. DRT. This sub-human asshole needed killing in the worst way, and it was self-defense -- the first shot, the in-between shots, and the final shot -- each and every single shot was self-defense.

Black on black crime is the biggest threat to black people and they KNOW IT. Yet, the black community remains silent and blames “whitey” for their self-inflicted problems. Denial is not a river in Egypt, but most blacks would say it was — if they knew where to find Egypt on a globe.
