So, it seems the british police are no better trained in anything. So instead of claiming superiority, maybe you should do some reading and fact checking, there are plenty of cops shooting unarmed people in that list, one was shot in the back of the head 7 times for as it turns out, nothing. they admitted the mistake and issued an apology...alot of good a sorry does when you are dead. So, who looks like a fool?

What political issue? A thug attacked a cop, cop responded. There should not be any political or social issues. It should be seen for what it was. A thug being a thug, a cop doing his job. Brown caused the scenario to unfold as it did, had he been following the law and conducting himself as a decent, contributing member of society, he would have never been in the situation he was in to begin with.

Somethings no they dont work.
But did Darren Wilson try?
Is a SOP in place that specify there appropriate use?

If Darren Wilson had a partner with him that partner could have been there to grab brown and pin him to the floor is the Taser had no worked or just down it anyway.
I have seen a few take downs like this, some drunk of drugged thug for a police officer and there partner tackles them to the ground.
Im not going to blame Darren Wilson for being in such a tense situation. The question is why was he put in it ? And was there a better way for police departments in the US to handle such situations? And should be develop better training and SOP's?
Rather than rioting and asking for the officers blood. Or cheering over a dead kid cause a cop shot a bad guy derp derp derp USA! I think things should be looked at for improvement.
