> Do you know that's what happened? Yes. We do know that Brown did not have a gun. MAYBE (and we don't know), he tried to hit the officer. Or maybe he tried to take his gun. But if he tried to take his gun, he didn't have one. -Z

>> "2. A cop should NEVER pull a gun on someone he does not have any reason to believe is armed. And seeing that a guy is black is not a reason." That may be Z's rule. Many police officers draw their weapons frequently, some routinely, some daily. That doesn't mean they stick it in anyone's face. It would depend on where the officer is working and what kind of work they do. It is dangerous work and it pays to be cautious.
