Ask yourselves what is the root cause of all of this nonsense.
When this incident happened, or most police involved incidents happen, I do indeed give the benefit of doubt to the police. Perhaps where I live it isn't so bad and in most cases the police do use the correct amount of force. However since then as more information became available such as reports not being done, autopsy results and historical evidence; it is clear now that Ferguson country has a serious problem with bad cops and extremely bad policing policy.
That is the root of all this non-sense. Sure he was a thug, but at least where I come from, cops do not shoot to kill just because they can. I mean how about that other guy? The guy was clearly not in the right mind that stole the two red bulls. I saw the knife but he didn't rush the officers, but ok lets ignore that, however why did they have to shoot him while he was on the ground and then shoot him two more time when he rolled over dead? That is not right man.
As far as Brown is concerned he turned around and the officer unloaded on him. Highly likely because they are trained to kill militaristically. In most departments you shoot the largest body area, the torso. In THAT department you start at the lower torso and shoot up towards the head. I honestly think the bum rush is bullshit at this point.
You know, the dumb ass, Brown, may have very well got what he deserved but that is not how you run a civilized society. Also most of the "evidence" from the Ferguson police department so far has been utter bullshit. Explain that away?
