It is not hard to believe that a bad cop might have flipped out and killed an innocent guy.
However, taking into account that Michael Brown just robbed a store and that the cop had a 6 year record that had no issues I am going to lean toward the police officer rather than the criminal.
The reason that people are not defending the cop is because the mob will go after them. A woman showed up defending the cop in St. Louis the other night and had to be escorted away by the police because the crowd started throwing things at her. It is not like this nice safe message board where you can say anything and not worry. If your name goes up in that neighborhood people know where you live and work. And if you dont think that mob is intimidating then you are crazy.
There are supposedly a dozen witnesses that corroborate what we think the cops story is. We are not going to hear the whole thing unless this goes to trial. Those defense witnesses are scared to death right now and are not going to go on the news to dispute what the mob is currently saying about the cop.
As I said in the first post I created. If the cop shot an unarmed man (I said running away at the time but obviously that turned out not to be true) who was surrendering then he is a murderer. If most of the eye witness testimony turns out in that direction then I am open to see the cop prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
I ask however that other people do the same and not illogically be planning the penalty phase of the issue before the evidence has even been presented.
