Well then, that sure needs to be changed. First time I've heard they're not trained to wound, but even if they aren't they are trained to shoot. The officer had a choice there, he did not have to kill Brown.


You are correct, they are trained to kill...

I think it's really dumb that police are trained to kill a threat, un unarmed threat. I would agree with it if the guy in question was armed, but Brown wasn't armed and aren't officers trained for combat also? 

Didn't Brown have his hands in the air?

I don't know all the facts and I am going to pretend I do, but I disagree with taking a life.
