The critical word of course being “reasonable.”

Was it “reasonable” to see a Wii controller in the hand of kid who opens a door as likely to cause death or GBI?

Obviously some cops are accused of bad shoots when they shouldn’t be. Quite possibly Mr. Wilson is in this group.

All I’m asking is a recognition that not ever single shooting by a cop is justified. That some cops may be too trigger-happy.

If we were talking about the Wii shot, I might actually agree with you. Was it a wand, or was it a gun look-alike?

I don’t know the Wii system all that well. They may have a gun like tool, I don’t know. Perhaps not.

If it was just a controller, ouch. That would be a hard one to explain.

Didn't say they were. There are bad shoots. There are cops that make mistakes and there are cops that commit murder and should be prosecuted.

This one, I don't know. I've only seen the video on an old cellphone and it's not clear. I'll wait for more info.

It's clear that Officer Wilson was justified in shooting Brown.
