I understand, I think to many people assume an unarmed man, even a 6'4 300 pound unarmed man, poses a laughable threat to a cop.  MB was a big guy, if the officer was within an arms reach of him, than literally anything can happen, a gun can be wrestled, a choke hold could be put on the cop, we know MB friend lied about what happened but he could have been a threat to the cop as well, you only have an advantage with a gun when a threat is several arm lenghts away.  

And like you said, we don't know what happened at the critical point, but we do know that MB had done things leading up to this and we probably will never know exactly what happened and who was at fault.  Therefore the riots and all that BS it totally unwarranted as all the facts haven't come out yet, we haven't even heard the officers side of the story, and the rioting only hurts the people of Ferguson, many businesses will leave, taxes will go up to pay for all the manpower and the town will have reputation for a long time.  

But a few on here think that cops should only unholster their gun when they are getting shot at.  And that's stupid, just the sight of a gun drawn on your should seperate the smart from the foolish, and we can't say whether MB was rushing the cop or not, but the evidence contradicts the friend so I feel like if it were unjustified that friend and the evidence so far would support that the cop acted unethically.

Yeah it is a sad situation all around. The looting and rioting has be sick and upset with the community. My son can't even start school yet because of all the mess that is going on. It is a very tense and frustrating time/situation here and now. I am all for the peaceful protesting for the right cause. But some people are not out there for any other cause other than their own personal agendas tot ake advantage of a hoirrible situation to steal, rob and go at it with cops.......sad times.



The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...
