I've never understood why some people think because a person is unarmed, that means they can't kill a person or cause serious bodily harm.
The "gentle giant" outweighed the cop by 100 pounds. It doesn't matter if he was armed or not. If the "gentle giant" got a hold of the cop, he would've killed him. It doesn't matter if he had a gun or not.
Stop saying that shit.
He stopped a drugged up psychopath on a rampage. How is that in any way NOT heroic? Have you even seen the video of the perp assaulting a store clerk while robbing him prior to the incident with the police?

Since you've chosen to remain (or are acting) completely ignorant of this situation, let me help you:
After striking Officer Wilson, Brown handed the Cigarillos to Dorian Johnson and Wilson attempted and failed to gain control over Brown’s right arm. He described it as fruitless as “a five year old holding on to Hulk Hogan” (p. 212).
Wilson again attempted to open his door and escape the vehicle, but Brown blocked his escape and swung another full power punch and hit Wilson in the face again.
Officer Wilson began to run through his options, and ruled out his chemical spray because Brown’s hands were in front of his face (rendering the spray unlikely to hit his eyes and work), and the vehicle confines would likely result in Wilson getting the spray into his eyes as well. Wilson’s ASP baton was behind his right hip and trapped against the SUV’s seat, and even if he could deploy it, there wasn’t room to deploy and swing it with any force. He couldn’t use the flashlight on the passenger seat as an impact weapon either, for the same reason. There simply wasn’t enough room to swing it (p. 213-214).
============
In other words, Wilson's firearm was his last option.
Also note: Brown had his hands on Wilson's gun and twisted it so it was pointed at the officer.
Where you get these ideas about this event is not at all clear.
Wow, u read everyday all day about thugs being shot by police officers DOING their job. Last I heard you obey authority when they say stop, or your under arrest. So why this is an issue is just plain jackass
the thug was a thug, thief, assaulter , and destined to be a murder in the near future. Cop did his job and probably saved more lives and assault and theft down the road
justice was served , jury proved that, no more to see here so time move on
crying shame that the racists tried to make something out if it and destroyed property, arson, and theft which are all crimes and they should be convicted in a court of law

Ok, so we are in agreement.
The Police Officer did his job. The Police Officer therefore should not be being used as a scapegoat for all the thugs to be rioting and looting.
I'm sure that you agree also that this poor Police Officer shouldn't have death threats or be forced to resign his position within the Police Department.
