I'd think that would be a mainstream conservative idea.
If the cop did something wrong, then he should be disciplined. I just said that I don't care when a thug like Brown gets killed and that the world will be a better place without him. I don't know how anyone can disagree with that.
How many people died the same day he died? There were many sad, tragic deaths that day - children dying of cancer, civilians dying from war, people dying from malnutrition. Brown's death wasn't one of the sad, tragic deaths that day.
I think most people here would agree with you on that. However, as the evidence comes out, this does not appear to be a case of excessive force, but of an officer responding to a threat. Has that been proven? Not yet, but neither has it been proven that the officer killed the "victim" for no reason. And since the evidence is trending in the officer's favor, it seems prudent to avoid making accusations that the evidence doesn't support.
I am one of the first ones to jump all over the cops when they kill dogs in their own yard because the cop feels "threatened", or when they toss flash-bang grenades into playpens, or perform a "dynamic entry" on the wrong house, or when they try to arrest someone for videotaping them. But when there is a reasonable case to be made that the officer was reacting to a real threat, I think we should wait until all of the facts come out before crucifying him...
