The many hearings and investigations that follow an officer shooting someone far exceed any you can imagine.
Who in their right mind would ever want to be a police officer, or have a loved one be a policeman based on that criteria.
The one things BOTH sides seem to agree on, is that Mr. Brown was the aggressor and in fact wrestled for the gun (which was holstered). I have seen no denials of that as a fact is the only reason I present that......but if a man the size of Mr Brown leaned in, punched me and wrestled for my weapon, I would fear for my life
If that turns out to be false, I apologize but even his friends are not denying that right now.
We want police protection, but don't use you gun ? Already there are more weapons looking to kill in civilian hands that any police force.
Not defending anyone except it is insane to ask them to protect YOU , but make sure those fellows trying to do whatever do not get hurt.

Lets hope for Mr Wilson's sake that if there was wrestling for the gun, that there is gun powder on Mr Brown during the altercation. With four to body and two to the head, it raises some questions whether this went beyond self and public protection.
