No, they have been illegitimate for a while now and HAVE BECOME much, much worse already. There's a certain type of people that feel it's okay to fatally shoot an unarmed person...especially if they're black. Common sense tells me that a cop can shoot to DISABLE when they clearly see and know that a person is UNARMED. Even when they don't know if a person is armed or not, they can still injure a person in such a way that they'll be unable to pose a real threat to a cop after the shot. Most of the cops in the news this day and time just wanna kill people...PERIOD.

Then, they try trump up some bogus a$$ story to make it seem as though the assailant was doing much more than what actually happened. People are tired of this and more afraid of officers than ever. At some point, black folks will simply say after being pulled over, "I was fearing for my life after seeing the patterns of so many of us being fatally shot for misdemeanor reasons" and it's going to stick because you cannot measure a person's fear.

Yeah, there are bad people that do bad things...black and white. If the bad guy deserves to be killed for his aggressive and lethal actions then so be it. Shoot first and ask questions later? That only works if you've shot to DISABLE and DISARM the assailant. A dead and unarmed assailant cannot defend themselves in the case of an illegitimate fatal shooting. Where's Brown's blood? Not in the car, not on Wilson's hands (literally), and not on his gun...NOWHERE. Wilson had an irritated red area on his face that could've resulted from a scuffle but, what cause the scuffle?

Who, in their right mind, would go for an officer's weapon while they're sitting in their cruiser? Was the window down? How much? Was the door open? Why, if you're asking this suspect questions? There's too much that's still unclear with the whole deal. People are confusing the fact that Brown stole cigars, I believe, with the actual circumstances of the shooting. He committed theft...unarmed, but still theft. The two incidents weren't parallel. It's not going to get any better until there's push back.

More of the same bull$hit in the second link. This is a somewhat well-to-do black man that is also unarmed and posed no threat whatsoever. Then, his buddy was also beat down for no reason...and kicked out up the road WITH NO CHARGES. Unbelievable.
