I hadnt thought of this til now, but were or are the Ferguson police equipped with Tasers? If the dude was unarmed why didnt they tase the guy if he charged?

I made a comment about that earlier -- a dude who is 6'4'' and 280 pounds can kill you without much trouble with his bare hands.

If the taser fails for whatever reason -- which happens often, you're almost at complete mercy.

You know the score when you fight a guy with your fists and he has a gun. It's not the officer's responsibility to make sure Brown goes home that day, it's Brown's responsibility not to assault a police officer.

Period.
