>> contrary to what eye witnesses are saying.

The problem is that the "eye witnesses" aren't.

> The implication is that the cop felt his life was threatened........

He really may have. When you've come to believe that you're going into a war zone, you feel threatened right off the bat. The question, to me, is not whether Wilson was personally racist or that he shot Brown because he was black... it's because the racism is baked into the system and any cop who goes in there is thinking that the residents of the community are the enemy. You get a lot more trigger-happy when that's your starting point.

That was the prevailing thought in the 50s. They had height requirements back then. So are you saying small females should not have the opportunity to serve on a police force?

looks like a wimp. I'll never understand why most cops are out of
shape........its a physical job.......
