Whatever happened to tazers, batons or mace?

YEP.

What happened to calling in to dispatch and waiting for back-up???

Unless this cop was 6-6 and 300 pounds he should never have engaged the kid.

“Because he had proven himself to be a fleeing violent felon making dead force appropriate.”

This is a justifiable difference between how the police and an individual should be treated. If I did this, I would be charged but not so for law enforcement. If the perp took the fatal shot on his knees, that may be different but just because he is on the loosing end and decided to run, I think the cop would be justified to shoot and hopefully capture rather than let the perp get away.

I hope six shots to do the job with this size criminal.

That has never been in dispute: we don’t know anything about his race at this point.

What was in dispute was whether it was the guy in the photo. That is no longer in dispute. It is not him.

Twitter at #darrenwilson now has some pretty convincing pictures of a white policeman identified in Facebook as Wilson combined with a picture of what looks like the same man standing with a handgun over Brown’s body as it lay in the street.

Why should that be any different for someone wearing a badge?

Here in Michigan the burden of proof is far lower for an average citizen than it is for police. Unarmed utes are killed by people defending themselves all the time with no charges filed.

Its one of the often repeated messages of Police Chief James Craig in Detroit when speaking out to criminals. "The average citizen is far more likely to shoot you than police so don't mess with them".

No mention in the CNN account of the fact that Darren Wilson is one of the six Black policemen on that 53 person force.

Well, if he does turn out to be black, it's a sure bet that the media will create a new racial designation; something along the lines of "white Negro."

He will later be described as a White African-American.

You are still operating on an empty tank. The kid was the who started the engagement.

Really? You try that excuse after someone broke into your house, punched you in the face and you shot him 35 feet from your front door as he was running away UNARMED.

You would be charged with manslaughter at a minimum and murder most likely. So you advocate that agents of the state do not have to follow laws that govern the rest of us?

The narrative of the FR Michael Brown Apologists crumbles as well. It’s funny what truth does to a false narrative isn’t it?

You’re the one operating from a vacuum — the cop was in his SUV cruiser.
