There's plenty of evidence to support that brown was one such person who would try that with a cop and he died rightly so for it. That's justice enough for me. I bet there's a few people gaining something from all of the riots and making a big deal out of nothing. Hmmm... |
If Brown was shot IN THE CAR, sure. That is not what happened.
There was a struggle in the car, the cop reached for his gun to protect himself, fearing for his life. At that point, Brown grabs the gun, it goes off and he flees. Did you read that? HE FLED. Wilson then gets out of his car, fires 6 shots that miss into the direction of the man running some several feet away. At this point, Brown stops, says something to the effect of "Ok, ok, ok I give up", puts his hands in the air, turns around and then Wilson pumps his body with 6 MORE shots, leaving him dead in the street.
That, my friend, is NOT protecting yourself. That is a case of a cop who's pissed off, full of adrenaline and ready to make someone pay. He didn't have to shoot. His life was not in danger when that kid was running away. He could have stayed in the car and called for backup. He could have run on foot, like most cops do, and pursued Brown. He could have, you know, NOT gunned him down as he stood with his hands up, and ordered him to the ground before handcuffing him and charging him with assault on an officer.
But no. He chose to erase him. That, is where the anger comes from. That is where his crime was commited and why ultimately, he'll probably end up getting killed or beaten within minutes of it.
