Imagine a world, not abandoned to political correctness or cowardice. A place where a man goes where he chooses, and takes responsibility for the results. A world where, if you are attacked and defend yourself, you aren't demonized by those who feel they should have a monopoly on force. The same world where, if you attack someone and kill them, you're held responsible for that act. (even if you're a cop)
We can both keep dreaming.

Can’t disagree with you there; especially about a world not abandoned to PC. In this case we can’t jump the gun and assume Brown was “attacked”. The officer may have pulled him over as a suspicious person and he may not have liked it. We’ve seen that scene play out before but again that may not be the case either. I also agree if the officer overreacted and used lethal force when there was no reason to he should be held accountable. Cops aren’t above the law. If you think I’m forming opinions based on race you’re wrong. Sure I’m biased but it’s because of past experience and quite a bit of it.
