I see what you are saying but that is touchy. It's a PC thing.

Based upon the changing story of Brown's friend, and the description he gave of the supposed execution, I would find it hard to believe that it happened that way 100%.
I can't really picture a policeman executing an unarmed person. Maybe, but I would kind of doubt it.
For me also, we are given a snapshot of the victim minutes before this happened. He appeared to be filled with arrogance and confidence. It's easier to see him fighting back with the cops, as opposed to him raising his hands in surrender only to be executed by a cop for no earthly reason.

The number of shots is largely irrelevant to me. I just want to know whether it was necessary to use lethal force, especially considering police officers have non-lethal weapons used to take down unarmed suspects.

LMAO Yes his postings this week have been all about maintaining the peace with no hyperbole at all. So unlike the guy on a first name basis with everyone at the State Ethics Commission.
Personally, I think he is guilty of trying seek the limelight because he has political aspirations and that makes me sick. Whether he truly means what he says or is saying it because of political aspirations I have no idea. Either way, I don't think his interest is in protecting looters. Just my opinion.

Personally, I am wary of putting too much stock in this.

I don't think so either but some people seem to need that outlet so as not to be singled out. Just sayin.

Lol. A wage increase would lead to fewer jobs there. I'm Ansolutely certain that tweeter has never had to figure the cost of labor for a business.

Completely agree with you on this Sabi. That's honestly I think the most important question in this whole debacle. But seeing the surrender hands in protesting seems crazy to me. That seems like one of the most unlikely scenarios in this whole matter, yet that's what they've latched onto. And now that additional info has come out, interesting how they still hold onto that. No matter what, I think they've gone all in, and will allege that's what happened despite what evidence comes forth.
Otherwise, they would have to admit they were.....wrong.
ETA: changed likely to unlikely

Police rumor mill says yes. But police rumor mill also said he was black. So TIFWIW.

They don't make much
That's why you see them working security on the side

in those small munis, maybe a dollar or 2 more. this is why you do not get a great force in small munis.
Why would you leave the City, 36K to start to make $16n hour? Thus the AA officers aren't going to be there. They are in City, County, Larger munis that pay more
