You keep saying that but it's easy to analyze days later for you. Not so easy for this officer while adrenaline is pumping. We've established that hindsight maybe have created distance and called for backup. Maybe he could have asked MB his name and later got a warrant for him. Maybe when they served the warrant MB. would have shot an officer ( already established he isn't intimidated by police or their guns, but should have been).
Lots of "what ifs" and "should have" can be said days later from your laptop. I won't judge a cop for having the balls to take on a thug that's already tried taking his gun and attacked him.

Why are they trying to enter any building?

Why anyone would decide to be a cop in this day and age is beyond me. Blacks bitch that you don't do enough to protect them, then riot when you protect them. Whites bash you for not preventing fatal car accidents, then bitch when they get speeding tickets.

I agree. My only point was that, in creating distance, Wilson MIGHT (KEY WORD) have been able to use non lethal means. That's all I've been saying.
REGARDLESS of the situation the officer may have put himself in, he is justified in using legal force if Brown was trying to go for the gun or cause Wilson severe bodily har or death.

You've got the attention you wanted, at what point do you attempt to have a civil discussion and work towards changes?
When Wilson is cleared of any wrongdoing, how long will we have to deal with this bullshite?

I'd guess some of the protesters frequent state buildings quite a bit

I was going to ask what race she is, but the word "works" gave it away.

So I have a question. As has been drilled home, there are the peaceful and respectful protesters (the majority) and the looters/rioters (the minority).
Do the peaceful and respectful protesters think they are violating the peace? That there protests are ensuring there is 'no peace'? Genuine question as the language used gets confusing.
