The Michael Brown Shooting Official Thread

[GBCW 397]

I am sure after it was proven that Officer Wilson, used deadly force appropriately, more and more people are going to be less accepting of the race baiting of Jackson,Sharpton, Obama and Holder.

what passes for appropriate use of deadly force these days is actually kind of scary

Good question. It's pretty straightforward actually as long you obey the law.

Use of Deadly Force Law & Legal Definition

Deadly force is generally defined as physical force which, under the circumstances in which it is used, is readily capable of causing death or serious physical injury. In order for deadly force to be justified there must be an immediate, otherwise unavoidable threat of death or grave bodily harm to yourself or other innocents. Deadly force is that force which could reasonably be expected to cause death or grave bodily harm.

The use of force is generally illegal unless it fits within the strict requirements of one of the four legal justifications. They are: self-defense, defense of a third person, crime prevention, and law enforcement. Each of these areas has specific requirements that must be met to avoid criminal liability. You may only use the amount of force that is reasonable and necessary in the situation.. This is judged by what a reasonable person would have done under the circumstances. In a self-defense situation, it is only when the aggressor uses or attempts to use deadly force that you have the right to respond with deadly force. Laws vary by state, so local law should be consulted for the applicable requirements in your area.

The following is an example of a state statute governing the use of deadly force to defend one's premises:

"A person in lawful possession or control of premises, as defined in Section 13A-3-20, or a person who is licensed or privileged to be thereon, may use physical force upon another person when and to the extent that he reasonably believes it necessary to prevent or terminate what he reasonably believes to be the commission or attempted commission of a criminal trespass by the other person in or upon such premises.

A person may use deadly physical force under the circumstances set forth in subsection (a) of this section only:

In defense of a person, as provided in Section 13A-3-23; or

When he reasonably believes it necessary to prevent the commission of arson in the first or second degree by the trespasser."

Yeah, it's great to have law enforcement who knows when and how to pull the trigger and takes away that opportunity from criminals. And in the meantime, those of us who are armed to the teeth are also ready to provide a solution to the criminal act.

you don't think it will ever be you on the wrong end of a cop's weapon, so it doesn't matter. or you believe police hr departments are infallible.

It's a damned tough world out there, and 1950s America may be gone forever.Today, it's kinda like watching a third world country with dozens of warring tribes who can't get along. Put your trust where you will. My choice may differ from yours, and that's cool. You don't trust the cops, and quite frankly I'm not far behind you on that. But, I trust them more than trusting strangers in my community. More and more Americans are arming themselves every day.

It's amazing to me that somehow donating money to support a police officer, so that he can get a fair trial is racist. Burning down your hometown is a shout of support to justice.

It's amazing to me that you saw that screenshot and thought people donating money was the racist part.

Some cops mess up. Possibility Darren Wilson did . However he deserves the right to have the facts looked at , and it be determined if he used appropriate deadly force. he does not deserve to have the Governor of Missouri calling for a vigorous prosecution, before it has even been determined a prosecution is warranted. Or for that matter the attorney general of the U.S. glad handing protestors that are screaming for him to be thrown in jail.

and he's not in jail right now. he hasn't been charged with anything. so what's the big miscarriage of justice? because some people let their emotions get the best of them and spoke harshly - too quickly? because some people used it as an excuse to tear things up? those people will always exist. you make it sound like darren wilson was found hanging from the closest tree to michael brown's body.

A waste of good ammo. A common street thug. An unnecessary thug. Wake up, White America! I give up supporting "the blacks".

Yes, clearly it is the donation of money that people find offensive.

My favourite was the one where the guy had to be shot multiple times because he was evil and evil people don't die quick.

At least he donated $100. It's the equivalent of a public swear jar - $100 for a racist rant.
