I have waited to comment on this topic until more information came out. It looks like the cop did the right thing and used the best option he could to stop the very aggressive Michael Brown. Numerous autopsies just don't lie. The riots and loitering should have never happened. Michael Brown was 100% in the wrong, was a gang banger, robber and he attacked the cop. Making this whole thing about a "poor innocent BLACK kid" vs a white cop never should have happened. Then a lot of these poor, innocent black people rioted and destroyed their very own town...why? What did it prove? Even with all the evidence pointing to Michael Brown being in the wrong it more then likely won't change anything.
I read one of the articles posted I think by Mike...on the exact same day a white unarmed teenager was shot and killed by a black cop in Utah....didn't even make the news. SAD! But, most rational people can understand that the majority of police officers do the right thing. They absolutely have to be on guard when they pull someone over. They have no idea if the person is on drugs, drunk, wanted or armed.
