It takes a lot of bullets to kill someone.

People love to second guess a cop’s actions. When its a justifiable shooting, a cop has no choice but to draw a gun and fire both to protect his life and that of others.

We haven’t heard a lot about Officer Darren Wilson’s side of the story. But after hearing him, would any of us have reacted any differently under a similar set of circumstances?

Michael Brown is not the innocent victim of a redneck cop as his family and supporters make it out to be. If he had obeyed the cop’s orders, he would still be alive today.

But some people want to exploit the shooting to gain advantage from a tragedy from which no one benefits.

Especially a young, tall, 300lb man.

I'm disabled, 54, 4 inches shorter and around 350lbs, but it'd take a squad of men to put me in a paddy wagon if I didn't want to get in one.

Assuming that Wilson's account is what really happened then most people would have reacted the same way. But what if it isn't? The evidence will show it one way or the other.

Can’t wait to see how CNN will spin their way out of their support of the innocent unarmed gentle giant teen.

“If he had obeyed the cop’s orders, he would still be alive today.”

Even before that, if he hadn’t of been stealing things from a store and strong-arming the owner, he’d be alive today.

I would have done the same as the cop.

Unless the MF is laying flat on the ground with his hands behind his head, the cop has no idea what Brown is going to do next.
