Option B mostly.
If you're going to physically assault an officer to the point that you shatter his orbital and he legitimatley believes hes fighting for his life, then he's going to kill you, as he's trained to do so in that sitution.
Period.
Again, it has yet to be determined that he did assault the officer.
Again, he did not have a broken orbital socket.
Biggest problem I have is stupid people rallying around a criminal like this who assaulted an officer and got killed because of his own stupidity instantly marginalizes the legitimate beef people have with police brutality/militarization/abuse of authority.
Again, it has yet to be determined that this kid assaulted the officer or that he was at fault for his own death. Stop blaming the victim. People are rallying around THE EVENT to air the legitimate beefs they have with police.
This case is polarizing people because this guy was a stupid shit bag and pulled the race card, he's not the innocent grandma that gets shot or the baby that gets flash banged. ... but because retards made this into such a big thing, it's going to push people right into the corner of the same officers that pointed a rifle in a journalists face.
I think you have Marc Catron to thank for that, as well as the fukacta way in which the aftermath was handled by the Keystone cops of Ferguson.
Hell I think theyve raised something like 150% more for the officer than all the people rallying for the criminal.
(Now, I'm not 100% sure of how the situation got started, but if you're going to assault an officer you have to be ready to die)
Again, it has yet to be determined that he did assault the officer.
There are too many lingering questions, and a very inadequate police response.
Too much, too little, too late, all the while a concerted effort to vilify this kid in the court of public opinion prior to releasing any facts. The people of ferguson had legitimate questions, and objections to the way the entire shooting was handled, ...including the officer not even calling it in, but instead leaving the dead kid to lie out in the sun on the roadway for hours.... Then they refuse to release the name of the officer involved in the shooting... then a member of their Dept. releases a picture of a murder suspect from Washington depicted in a stereotypical thug like pose, claiming it to be Michael Brown? Was it the case of a racist cop who can't tell the difference between Black people? or was it a case of a cop counting on a racist public to not be able to tell the difference between Black people?
What you fail to recognize is that the more the cops screwed it up, ...the more people rallied around the event demanding answers & accountability. And it is those answers & demands for accountability that you and so many others appear so willing to dismiss. Had the police not messed up so completely, I doubt neither you nor I would have even heard of Michael Brown.
