Micheal Brown deserved to be shot.

[Strider]

It is my opinion that he deserved to be shot. I think if someone is crazy enough to attack an armed policeman they deserve to be shot. I know it's not a popular opinion.


I also believe in other cases where a police officer has killed someone with no reason they deserved to be charged for murder but I don't think this was one of those cases.
If a policeman breaks a guys arm they should be fired and charged for GBH.
If a guy robs a store using intimidation and violence then walks down a street and from what I heard he attacks a police officer then yeh I think that deserves a shooting.

Police officers are trained to use an appropriate level of force. Even if a police officer is an a physical altercation, his first recourse should absolutely not be to shoot a person dead. Hell, they have ASP batons, pepper spray, tasers that fire at a reasonably long distance, but he had no other option than to kill him?

I'm not contending that Brown was an angel. That's inconsequential though. You can't kill somebody for being a shitty member of society. I say the cop had other options and chose the most lethal one first. He was in the wrong.
