What do you guys think about the cop in Ferguson?

[EverFresh]

Seemed sincere. Looks like a good ol' boy caught in a tough situation. May not deserve the blame for the shit storm he instigated

 

[CarolinaKid]

i think he a good guy and got caught in a bad thing, that he had no choice but to shoot.now the are blacks trying to use him as a example for yrs of trouble between the blacks and cops

 

[Seymour]

He seems 100% truthful

 

[Bourn]

I saw an interview where the reporter asked the Brown mom and dad, "Do you think your son approached the officer and and punched him in the face?" They said absolutely not. Next question, "Do you think he was confrontational at all with the officer?" They both said absolutely not. He wouldn't do that. LOL. If they didn't have video evidence of him stealing from the store, what do you think their answer would have been? I so wished the reporter would have asked them if they believed he stole something and then roughed up the store clerk. Just to see what they said. I would love to interview that family.

 

[Bourn]

Just the blind stupidity of some people is shocking.

 

[EverFresh]

True. The video says it all

 

[HamGlaze]

Hero.

 

[NickPappagiorgio]

He got away with murder

 

[Seymour]

He got away with murder

Are u just saying that or do u really believe it? ur telling me that this cop who never has been in any trouble and never used his gun before woke up and said I'm gonna kill a black dude today? what about the BLACK witness to the entire thing that said there was no hands up shit - do u really think the cop tried to pull 300 pound Brown into his car through the window? do u know how absurd that sounds

He did what he was trained to do, end of story. Parents of these hood rats need to understand that situations like this could be avoided if they would do a better job of raising their kids instead of letting them run wild with no accountability. Successful parenting starts long before kids are in school.

 

[NickPappagiorgio]

I really believe that and it has nothing to do with race. The kid had no weapon and the officer shot off a number of bullets. To me, being punched does not constitute a life threatening situation and the use of a gun should be the last option not the first.

 

[EverFresh]

Grand Jury witnesses have said they lied about the "hands up" thing

 

[PatsFan1283]

Who knows. I mean he probably didn't like getting yoked up so he put some bullets in him even if maybe his life wasn't in danger.

Either way, trying to beatdown a cop isn't a very +EV life decision and Brown is no martyr

 

[NickPappagiorgio]

So punching an officer is a capital offense now? I never backed Brown or his actions, but we have a court system and jails for a reason. The death penalty should be saved for the egregious cases only.

Who is to say what life in danger even means?

If some dude was beating on me and there was a gun in proximity I'm probably not taking the time to figure out what the definition is and just lighting him up.

Not saying it is right but we don't live in a perfect world. Don't try to F up cops and your chances to live go up pretty drastically.

No being punched does not mean u get to shoot - but what about the fight inside the car? there is blood all over the door? most importantly, what about the blood on the gun? do you know anyone that has swung on a cop? I can say that I do not nor do I know anyone that ever would - anyone willing to swing at a cop is also willing to kill a cop

Nick, are u black? not that I personally care but I feel like blacks are all biased towards police - a small portion of it being justified

 

[DesertNole]

Punching an officer and going for his firearm gives him the right to unload his clip, but Brown thought he was "too much of a pussy" to shoot him. Browns actions led to his own death.

What do you think would have happened if the 300 pound man gained control of the 180 pound mans' weapon?


Would the Police Officer have made it home to his family that day?

More than a small portion TBH but that is really nor here nor there.

I agree though if I was a cop and someone SWUNG ON ME, I'd be like holy shit this fucker is crazy and must be loaded up on crank it is probably time for me to shoot him.

 

[PatsFan1283]

We would all like to KO a cop but gotta be smarter than that.
