Was with you up until the end. Stupid people wind up dead all the time due to their own stupid actions.
NOT saying anyone "deserved" to die, but my sympathy is mitigated when they put themselves in compromising situations (same opinion I have of the young man who was struck and killed by Tony Stewart's Sprint car, btw).
Like i said, I agree with the rest of what you said, though. Which is why I choose to remain emotionally detached.

I had a friend in the Navy who was shot by the cops here in San Diego.
He was drunk and wandering around an intersection. He "charged at a cop" and was shot 4 times center mass. He was a large black dude, much like mike brown.
I think, that in times of stress, cops react. The stress is elevated when it's a large black man that you know can kick your arse.
The cop that shot my friend could have tased him, instead he killed him. He was a good kid, just drunk and stupid.
I think it's the extreme use of force by police that I don't agree with here. That being said, I completely understand why things like this happen.
