My brother is a police office and my father was a police officer. Cops never want to fire their gun and they never want to kill someone. It puts them at too much risk, legally and from a career standpoint. They know more than anyone the ramifications. That being said, a lot of the police officers were briefed the next day after the shooting and were told that Michael Brown attacked the officer while he was in the car and that he had to fire his weapon because they were worried that others might try that tactic and they wanted the officers to be aware nationwide. Nobody wants to fire a weapon in a car due to the potential hearing damage unless it’s a matter of life or death. The real problem is why Eric Holder held that information back from the public for weeks just like he did with the video from the store (the police chief of Ferguson let that out against orders from the Justice Department a few days later which is why the governor took management of the riots out of his hands) to fan the flames of misinformation.

Is that a gut feeling or is there math to prove that? It's certainly become more visible in recent years, but from what I've read in the last year there hasn't been a noticeable increase in police shootings in the last several years (as of the last year report I read).

It is OK though because we are a pretty religious bunch... But seriously - Cops sure seem to me to be a bit more trigger happy than in times past. We have one that seems to me to be much worse that Ferguson here in Saratoga Springs. Kid had a replica sword. Walking around near a gas station, morning, not any people around. Someone called it in, kid was looking/acting a bit goofy. Cops chased him around and shot him in the back 6 or 7 times. No looting and riots. Just peaceful sad gatherings.

Ive been listening to http://www.broadcastify.com/listen/ctid/1573/web really good dispatchers, these guys have to be under stress, they keep having missing cops, even though you know theyll turn up its got to put a pit in your stomach every time. Apparently in utah now, getting killed by cops is the number one murder according to some headlines, is this true chuck, are your cops randomly killing poeple now?
