I know it wont happen but lets try to limit the discussion to a hypothetical in the Michael Brown shooting.
Lets assume the cops story is true. And therefore,
He came upon a suspect he believed to be involved in a robbery.
The cop attempted to exit his vehicle but the door was slammed shut by Michael Brown.
On the second attempt for the cop to get out of the vehicle, Michael Brown punches the cop in the face, breaking bones around his eye and almost knocking him out.
Then Michael Brown tries to take the cops gun but after a brief struggle where the gun goes off he gives up and runs away from the car.
The cop gets out, gun drawn, orders them to freeze.
Michael Brown taunts the cop and then runs at him as if to tackle him...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE THREAD ASSUME THE ABOVE IS ESSENTIALLY WHAT HAPPENED
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Did the cop have the right to shoot an unarmed man and did he have the right to shoot him at least 6 times??
I am interested in finding out how many people on the forum think this was still excessive force by the police.
