If Wilson thought he might turn around and pull a gun after he ran away, he should have gotten in his car and called for backup. You should not be drawing your gun that shoots real bullets unless you're in imminent danger.

I don't know the details of the other reports but Wilson's report said that Brown ran away, then Wilson shouted something like 'stop or i'll shoot' then Brown turned around and looked like he was reaching for his waistband and then charged him.
Can you imagine the intentions of someone who charges a person in full knowledge that they are pointing a gun at them? I can, it goes something like 'KILL'!

We need cops who aren't such fucking pussies.

Oh so no cops ever get shot? That is amazing.

And if you aren't afraid in a situation like that, then you're an idiot.

RE: Micheal Brown deserved to be shot.
From a witness on the scene, it seems the guy stopped an put his hands up. He did not charge back. Who would even do that anyway? Even if he did have a gun, why would he rush towards someone while grabbing for a ranged weapon? While being shot at?

Tazers seem harder to get than a gun.

The PSNI has over 6000 officers all trained to use a gun, whereas only 70 have tasers. For some unknown reason they are harder to get.

Americans have a very skewed relationship to guns and to shooting people. Jeez.

Meh. Humor never eludes me. I can't imagine life would be bearable without it. Anything laughable if the joke is funny.
