Police have the same rights to due process as citizens because they ARE citizens.
It goes beyond that---when an officer is under attack, the police protocol is that he is allowed to respond w/ deadly force.
The backstory is Darren Wilson was attacked in his police car---and apparently Brown went for his gun.
How do they prove this?
<><> Brown's DNA could be on the officer's gun.
<><> Brown's autopsy revealed a hand injury in the joint/thumb area---indicative of a struggle w/ a hard object.
