Thoughts on the Brown Case

Not saying he did because that video is fishy but just say that the victim did steal some cigars, he was unarmed and not a martial arts expert so the police officer had no justification to use deadly force even if there was a struggle. The REAL issue is that they have lowered the standards to become a cop and now 90 pound soaking wet guys (like the officer in question) are cops and they have a badge, a taser and a gun. If the taser doesn't work or the person gets close, he physically CAN'T take down the suspect and has to use his gun. This has happened all over the country as police academy standards have dropped, the use of deadly force has risen. I have no doubt that if the cop had been 6 foot 3 and 250 pounds, he easily could have cuffed the suspect and there would have been no issue instead of a dead kid and a grieving family.
