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. 

Did the officer know he was unarmed?  Wasn't the officer assaulted by Brown? I don't know the full story yet, however I do know when you feel like your life is at stake you don't take non lethal shots.
