He reached into the cop's car and started a scuffle.  Did the policeman have no nonlethal alternatives?

What was wrong with pressing the accelerator and pulling away slowly? Or tasing him? Or using pepper spray? Or rolling up the window?

If Mr. Brown wasn't a piece of shit he would still be alive.

What was wrong with him not being a thieving, threatening, menace to society piece of shit?

Obviously we want people to obey the law.

I should hope that it is just as obvious to you that 1) being a thief is not a capital offense; 2) opting for deadly force and passing up less-deadly alternatives redounds to the deficit of the police anyway, as what trust the public has in them is eroded even further.
