What do you think really happened in Ferguson?

Micheal Brown was walking down the middle of the street when the confrontation started, he had just robbed a store and was not being discreet.  It's probably, but we don't know fully since even the friend has been discredited, that MB may not have taken lightly to being confronted by a cop even if it's a simple command since you can't walk down a street like that.  You say the cop feared an ass whippin like it should just be part of the job, a cop has responsibilities, they don't want to deal with hostile people, and if he assaulted the cop or tried to grab his gun then he has commited multiple felonies and is now a very real threat especially with a guy his size.  Cops have to deal with a lot of shit people, you won't last long as a cop if you think you can take out every person with just your fists, I think you don't understand what cops have to deal with or how quickly you can find yourself in a life or death circumstance.  You may not like cops, but the friend even admitted they were walking down the middle of the street and he just robbed a store!  So clearly he was not being harassed because he was black, the guy clearly thought highly of himself and knew his size would intimidate people.  I think he got aggressive with the cop and the cop had to do it, we all know how to behave around cops, if you have to take some shit especially as in this case where it was warranted then so be it, anybody that assaults a cop is asking for it.  

In regards to the 6 shots, I guess you have never been in a life threatening circumstance, nor have I, but I can imagine if a big guy is coming at you and already tried to grab your gun, that you might fire off several shots.  You also don't realize that he wasn't a still target, most shots hit him in the arm, he's a big guy, the adreneline is flowing, you may not feel it right away, in a literal matter of seconds a lot happens and the reactions aren't instant.  Or he did and as the cop fired off, he reacted to it and fell into the other shots, you make it sound like he was 20 feet away and unmoving throughout the whole process.  If he was charging the cop, clearly he moving, perhaps bent over and who knows how he will react, you can aim for one part of the body and even if you have great accuracy, you can't take into account whether a wound will make them fall or lean into a shot making a nonlethal one lethal.

You mean he "supposedly" had just robbed a store even though the store owner never said that he did nor did the store owne call in a robbery. And take into account that the full video does not show him robbing the store it can't be confirmed whether he paid or not. And even if he did just take a few cigarillos that is what like $3 or $4? Not justifying him stealing but seeing as the cop knew NOTHING about it that hardly warrants the shooting nor does it have anything to do with it for that matter.  So maybe he had nothing to be discreet about.

Also I do not agree with assaulting an officer either as I feel that is wrong and you have to deal with your jail time after doing it. From the reports someone or another Brown was assaulting the officer from inside the police car through the window and was shot. He then ran so what should have happened is the officer should have IMMEDIATELY called for back up but he did not. The officer got OUT of the car and then said Brown rushed him after he had been running AWAY from him. So gun drawn after already being shot you expect us to beleive that He turned around and rushed you and you feared for you life so you shot another 6 or 7 times? Instead of getting back in your car and calling for back up or pulling off or even trying to taze the suspect? NONE of that came to mind just shoot to kill? Come on man none of that adds up or makes any sense.  Again not saying Brown was some innocent child but the cop did nothing correctly in this situation and it ended up in the taking of a life...
