[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 1442186, member: 18225"] This situation is one example...there are thousands of other examples. Regardless of the race of the po-po and the race of the citizen that the po-po shot dead, there is a real disconnect between the well-armed police force and the citizens for whom the police are mandated to 'serve and protect'. I think there needs to be a nation-wide re-think within the police ranks about when/if deadly force is necessary/warranted. With regard to the Mike Brown case, if he was in fact trying to wrest a police officers' gun away, ask yourself, if you were the cop, what would you do? With regard to the Mike Brown case, if Brown was in fact trying to evade the cops' illegitimate handling of his personal freedoms, what would you do? There are just too many documented examples of unwarranted deadly force being employed by cops. It's a pickle... [/QUOTE]
