It may be that the officer shot used lethal force when it wasn't absolutely necessary but that's a widespread Law Enforcement problem IMO. I do believe Brown provoked the shooting, whether the shooting was justified or not I don't know and I doubt anyone else does either.

Yeah, I certainly don't by the "Brown was an innocent young child" angle to this situation. But I also don't believe lethal force was necessary in this situation.

I just wish the discussion about Law Enforcement would open up. It's a subject that should be discussed nationwide.

Yeah, I really don't know, and don't think any of us do, which is why those who think they understand 100% of the issue don't impress me.

It should be. The problem is the country sees it as a Blue Wall or Blue Shield problem where a few in the black community or progressive college circles see it as solely a racial issue. There may be elements of both, but the overwhelming problem is the power given to law eforcement.
