Hopefully, the Ferguson police officer will soon be charged with homicide by the grand jury hearing this case, as was the NY police officer. Having a police badge does not give anyone a license to kill.

Let's just reiterate one more time the fundamental problem with this incident and the majority of like incidents. If the "victim" simply complied with the police officer's request, there would have been no incident. Why. oh why, is that so hard for people to understand. Had this "gentle giant" simply got out of the street and walked on the sidewalk like normal people do, things would have ended there.
And I am tired of him being referred to as a "child." This was a 6'4', 290 lb man who obviously had no regard for the law.
