Every profession has bad apples. Even law officers will admit that there are some bad apples. And when those bad apples take a life, it's cause for notice. I'm not in favor of burning down your town in protest, but I think there may be some reason to justify a reaction.

Just to clarify ... does this mean you think Officer Wilson in Ferguson used "bad judgment and excessive force" when he shot Michael Brown when Brown was head down and running towards him, and after Brown had already scuffled for Wilson's weapon?
