Ferguson Idiots OMFG

He shoot him in the hand, he ran away. He chases him, and Brown turns around, and then he start shooting him, and that's not murder? A few shoot in the legs, and he is no danger anymore. IT IS MURDER. PERIOD...

This comment alone shows you're a fucking idiot and shouldn't post about these issues.

Sure, but don't you think for all of the money the taxpayers spend on cops that some of that money could be invested in the non-lethal or less-lethal tech necessary to have stopping power in these situations? It seems like the liability costs alone that would be saved (by killing fewer perpetrators) would be worth a lot.

This is a whole other argument. This cop did not have these options, and most cops don't. I wouldn't do this job for twice the pay that most US cops make and if I did, I would be damned if I was going to take any chances in places like this or other inner city, low rent areas. I want to go home to my wife/parents/kids. I wouldn't hesitate to make sure that happened no matter who the idiot was doing in front of me. I am not trying to save anyone's life when I pull that gun. If I get called to some situation, goal one is that I live through it, fuck the rest of them.
