Micheal Brown deserved to be shot.

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.

I agree with everything you're saying although I still think he probably deserved to be shot just based on what I've seen which admittedly isn't much but it's all I have to go on which is why I voted for probably.

The situation as I see it is there's one huge guy, and another guy with dreadlocks and neck tattoos, they go into a store, intimidate everyone who gets in their way, steal, walk out into the middle of the street get in trouble with the police and one of them gets shot.

Admittedly a lot of my judgement is based on how they look and act. Not for being black, but even here in england I don't have a high opinion of guys who walk around like gangsters with neck tattoos bullying people and stealing. It doesn't matter if they're white black or asian. I wish more of those types of people would get shot to death here in England personally.

I could be wrong though it could just be my bias against people who seem to be wanna be gangsters. No offense to anyone with a neck tattoo by the way it's just my opinion that they make you look like a bit of a scumbag.
