i know it is sometimes very hardto be a cop, but they are trained to take down criminals without using deadly force unless totally necessary. I do not know if it true that Brown was gunned down as he was trying to get away and a good distance...but if so, the cops should be prosecuted. Cops all over our nation take advantage of their “superior” position and bully people and even kill people..happens obviously if you have been awake and following the news. Their was an entire group of Fullerton cops caught on video literally beating to death Kelly Thomas, a skinny homeless man in Fullerton, Ca. It was pure murder and not one of those cops stopped it. No excuse!
Michael Brown rushed officer, radio caller says As reported by CNN.
While it is true that police officers are trained to resolve incidents peaceably and without the use of force, it is not always possible to do so. While I would agree that the homeless man was probably excessive use of force, seeing video that is shot does not necessarily mean we are getting the entire story of what transpired. It is also true that a percentage of police officers are bad cops who commit robberies, rapes, and even murder. Also true is that civilians are also committing violent crimes, and often times against police officers. The majority of police officers would and do avoid using force and especially deadly force as they may find themselves being prosecuted even when justified in using force and deadly force.
If you think you can do a better job than by all means become a police officer. It may significantly change your view of them and what they are faced with.
