The above shows the video as well as the lifeless body. Same clothing.
So is it justifiable to execute someone for robbery? No.
Is it justifiable to execute someone who resists being detained? I can definitely see a lot of scenarios where that answer could be yes. A person of Brown's size could easily overpower the officer and seriously injure or kill him and when there was a struggle with police who were clearly trying to arrest him, that typically doesn't end well for the would-be arrestee.
As i said, sure there are eyewitnesses. It'll be interesting to see how the investigation progresses. It's a little too early for folks to start burning down their own homes and looting stores though. |
Looks like the same guy to me. Same build, same hat, same shoes, same shirt and shorts.
