We have to focus on the fact that police have no right to shoot someone unless involved in criminal acts. Okay, makes sense as far as it goes.
But where do we draw the line? What about a situation in which police are attacked by a young black man for no apparent reason? An attack in which the police officer has a broken eye socket among other injuries, so the policeman shoots? What if the young black man continues to charge, so the policeman shoots multiple times? Is that acceptable? Where will lines be drawn?
Was going to comment on your question but would give the enemy ideas of what to demand in their idiocy. Is almost like having hamas in the streets making demands as hamas attacks a Police line with rocket fire and small arms once an idea is taken over by the lawless.
Nobody will say it, but the officer was in “enemy territory” and Brown had at least one buddy with him. I would say the only mistake the officer made was trying to handle this situation alone. He should have called for backup before he approached the thug.
For everyone who is trying to be impartial, supposedly, have you ever faced a situation where you were struggling with someone who wanted to kill you? I think you would shoot him 100 times if you had the chance. In spite of the opinions of the cop-haters, most cops show amazing restraint in the face of all kinds of provocation. I challenge people to do this job.
