No matter what Brown may have done, the cop was wrong shooting him 6 times.

Why couldn't he just wound Brown?

Brown was unarmed, no need for 6 shots if you were trained to shoot. The cop should be tried for homicide.

It's this kind of attitude that makes my blood boil. I am assuming you have never been in a situation like the one the police officer was in have you? He had just been beaten in the face so  brutally that his orbital bone was fractured. He pointed his pistol at the young man and ordered him to freeze. Instead of freezing and putting his hands up like most sane people would do when a gun is pointed directly at them, this fine young gentleman decided to rush towards the officer and was SHOT as ANYONE would have been BLACK OR WHITE. I am sure after being assaulted and having a rather large angry person rushing toward you with intent to do great bodily harm as he had previously demonstrated he was capable of doing, the officer thought to himself "gee, I am going ot try to aim in a spot that would only wound him." Right? ...Right? Makes total sense...


Only problem is those are not the facts those are assumptions there are a LOT of holes on both sides of the story. One fact remains is that this office DID NOT handle the situation correctly and it resulted in a loss of life. As for the office being "beaten" that is also speculation because HE LEFT THE SCENE of the shooting BEFORE an ambulance or anything could get there. Then a freaking WEEK afterwards he has all these injuries? And even if he did get "beaten" that still DOES NOT warrant him shooting someone 7 times. That is what his tazer or pepper spray was for to subdue the suspect. Was MB an angel? No probably not....did he deserve to die in this manner DEFINITELY not. 

So don't say this makes your blood boil MOST of us have been in "fights" and have even got beat but didn't feel it was to the point that we needed to unload a gun to defend ourselves....there is NO EXCUSE for this....none. And I have to ask do you REALLY beleive that after MB was already shot and wouned. That he was running turned BACK around to a cop with a loaded gun( that he has just got shot with mind you)pointed at him and charged at him? That makes ZERO sense....this whole situation is messed up and not a lot of sense is being made with this case at all. The facts on both sides are all speculation....nothing concrete other than MB getting gunned down.....



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