His size has everything to do with it —
They had apparently just had a wrestling match and they were evenly matched apparently.
If they were evenly matched and he had the color of law on his his side, then why is he bringing a gun into the match.
He knew that Brown did not have one.
He also had available to him a tazer and baton and back-up that he should have called.
SO why the deadly force of 8 shots.
If someone is grabbing your gun, then what would you do? I wouldn’t hesitate to kill him.
Not sure why you seem to be siding with the trash, but it’s sort of a free country, so go ahead.
I’d say this degenerate slob had his “hands up” (if he really did) so that they could “come down” on the cop. The bottom line is that he’s dead and will no longer terrorize the community. What a fool.
Because Saint Mike had already proven he was willing to do anything to take out the cop. He attacked/assaulted the cop while the cop was still in his vehicle. He attempted to get the weapon from the cop. Size didn't matter. Saint Mike had no leverage in the window fight. Saint Mike then tried to run away. Cop gets out tells him stop, Saint Mike doubles down and tries to come back at the cop.
It was violent, charged situation. Saint Mike didn't want to go to jail for robbing the store. Saint Mike made the choice and died for it.
“His size has everything to do with it” —
Once again, not if the perp is high. That rush that the high gives is very similar to an adrenaline high, which is well known to make people stronger in the moment (example, 100 lb mother lifting heavy object from on top of child).
“They had apparently just had a wrestling match and they were evenly matched apparently.”
So you admit the guy has a “wrestling match” with a cop. Hmmmm, what the heck do you think he was wrestling for? So we can just go out and jump a cop and expect not to get shot? That’s exactly what is expect and I’m not nearly this thug’s size.
“If they were evenly matched and he had the color of law on his his side, then why is he bringing a gun into the match.”
Because he’s a cop and they have guns. What did you expect him to do, take it out of his holster and set it down on the seat of his car and ball his fists up, get in his best boxing stance, jump around shaking his fists, preparing for the thug to attack again? How do we know the cop was POSITIVE the thug didn’t have a gun. Oh, that’s right, I’m sure thug stopped long enough and let the cop pat him down real good.
“He knew that Brown did not have one.”
How could he have known?
“He also had available to him a tazer and baton and back-up that he should have called.”
Hahaha.... A tazer? Really? For a thug that already attacked and is coming back for more? Many times cops don’t carry tazers on their person. Have you considered he didn’t have time to retrievea tazer? And A baton? That would have required letting the big dude get VERY close to him again in a rage. Do YOU want to take that chance with a high 300 lb man? And how do you know he didn’t call for backup already? Or again, maybe he didn’t have time?
“SO why the deadly force of 8 shots?”
If the first 7 didn’t stop him....
I guess Zimmerman was wrong in your eyes, then for shooting Trayvon. Never mind that Trayvon apparently went for Zimmerman's gun, just like Brown apparently went for the officer's gun. It ceases to be a 'wrestling' match if such happens.
I'll wait to see the coroner's report and for more information to come out before passing judgement here. It would behoove you to do the same.
