Mr. Brown was 6’4” and weighed nearly 300 lbs with a truly bad bully attitude. Officer Wilson had every right to fear for his life.

The Rev. Al Sharpton is expected to hold a four-day tribute for the death of unarmed teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson at the end of this month.
Sharpton will be in the Missouri town from October 31 to November 4 in reference to the four hours that the teenager's body was left lying on the street.
Sharpton is leading a wave of outcry after a Friday report suggested that investigators do not have enough evidence to charge a police officer over the shooting of Michael Brown.
Details revealed by the New York Times included the first account of the shooting to come from Darren Wilson - who says he struggled with Brown in his squad car and shot the teen when he grabbed for his gun.
Experts told the paper that they believe investigators do not have the evidence to prosecute Wilson on federal civil rights charges - meaning a grand jury could soon decide Wilson should not be tried over the killing.
In his own version of events, the police officer told a grand jury he opened fire because the teenager was attacking him and he feared for his life.
Wilson insists Brown viciously launched through the window of his police car, punching and scratching him repeatedly.
Police officers are generally given more scope for lethal force if they reasonably believe that their life is in imminent danger.
Eventually, Wilson said, he pulled his gun from the holster on his right hip, fired two shots, and one hit Brown's arm - leaving his blood smeared inside the car and on his uniform....

Good point.
Sharpton is a criminal.
Thanks for the post.
What poor example these folks are to their children! I have to remind myself that there are millions of wonderful Christian Black`s living in The US.
We are ALL made in God`s image and there would be no defense before God if I was to think otherwise...I dont think otherwise!!! But I could see how someone could get a negative image...I have a Negative image right now of the anti Christian Black Church and the Al Sharptins of the world
I meant Sharpton
With Sharpton back in town I’m sure tourism will be on the downturn.
A FOUR day tribute for the thief?
That’s more days than JFK was given.
What a strange country we have become.

I call shenanigans on that 300lb claim. I’m around 350lbs and I’m nowhere near as big as that boy was.
I thought Sharptongue was going back to apologize to the cops.
Oh please, don’t do it before the midterm elections that would hurt the Republicans soooo much.
If a guy this big attacked me, and tried to grab my gun, I would empty the gun on him. Period.
Reverend Al—fighting for his own relevancy every day.
“Sharpton back to cause people to riot, and die.”
Maybe a stray shot from one of the brothers will take care of Sharpton.
Lord willing.
People of Ferguson, remember this; Al Sharpton has been hanging out with Ebola patients.
Sharpton was much more likable when he a big fat guy with James Brown hair.
Will he be there for Election day? That’s his role...rile up Blacks to vote...IMHO
That might be all true about Sharpton.
However just watch CNN, FOX and the rest of the manipulated media give him a ton of coverage.
And the reason why our TV is usually stone cold.
