    Yeah assaulting a cop....or anyone with a gun is begging for death which goes quite a bit beyond "stupid stuff"

    But like "solid" said a few pages ago: the cop should just get in his car, lock the doors and wait for help. Problem solved, right?

    Umm... Michael Brown was trying to take the officer's gun in the car. Then Michael Brown runs away and the officer gets out and points his gun and yells for him to stop and get on the ground. This kid is dangerous if he's assaulted an officer and tried to get his gun.

    Then Brown turns around and charges the officer while the officer has his gun drawn on him. If a guy is charging you while you have a gun drawn on him, he has BAD INTENTIONS.

    If the officer didn't shoot, he would have been wrestling with this guy over his gun.

    The officer had to shoot him.

    This wasn't some kid being a punk and doing stupid stuff. This was serious and the officer had every right to shoot him.

    It's also now known that the cop knew of the robbery and was a suspect that not the description. Wasn't it also reported early that he tested positive for mar1juana? Is it not possibly that he panicked thinking the cop was going to arrest him and he thought he could scare the cop with his size?

    I do have a hard time imagining a guy charging someone with a gun that isn't on like meth or something, but supposedly the forensics match the officers account.

    Geez, why are the looters going for the auto stores? O'Reilly Auto Parts was hit. Heard people were looting Advance Auto Parts. And an Autozone is on fire.

    Im pretty sure some people out there knew that Wilson was gonna walk. They're basically doing this for no reason and when i saw them burning the flag i start to think wtf is going on.

    I don't think statistics support your claim. Black and assault police officer = higher chance of getting shot than a white person doing the same.
