re: Ferguson, what's your opinion?

Same size guy as Brown and a female officer my size? I'm 5'6 and weigh 125. Should she not pull her weapon, or should she take the arse beating that's going to come?

she should probably stay in her cruiser and call for back up. I don't think someone being bigger than a cop should get them shot. I don't think being bigger than the cop is why brown got shot in this case. He had it coming for going for the gun but just because big suspect gets aggressive doesn't mean small fry cops should be able to kill at will. I don't think cops should have to be put in extreme danger of getting hurt but I do believe they need to be held to a higher standard than the average citizen on when lethal force is needed. The reason being is they are trained or should be trained on ways to escalate to needed force.
