In this case, because he disengaged with the young man before firing

You're a hoot. You have no idea what the circumstances are, if any disengagement occurred, or if the officer felt his life was in danger as the thug charged him again after nearly beating the officer to death.

Whitey cop bad, right?

The "beat5ing" has been overstated a bit, the cop was punched or
slapped in the face but you hit a cop, you are going to be in trouble,
no matter what.
If this thug repeated the same thing we saw on the store video (turn
and try to threaten with his bulk) , he was going to be shot .. In
Missouri, New York or even yuppie assed San Francisco.

CNN seems to have some witnesses who back up the cop version of the
story but they are too afraid to go on camera.
I notice the news anchors are softening on their predictions of a
prosecution.
In real life, charging a cop for killing a felon in the process of an
arrest is pretty rare

For the folks who think otherwise, do not underestimate the power of
the police unions.

Hahahaha!!! "CNN seems to have..." What a joke.

CNN seemed to have discovered the missing Malaysian plane at least a
couple of dozen times while they were busy selling advertising.

Do you prefer Fox?

The reality of this incident has not even been presented yet but you
have already made up your mind. Nobody has seen the original autopsy
when GSR would have been present and a fresh body was examined. Nobody
has seen any evidence that may have been in the car, detailed evidence
at the scene like where the shell casings landed or even where the cop
was in reference to the dead guy. They also have not presented the
evidence from the clothing that may have GSR or be an indication of
where the thug;'s arms where when he was shot.

My bet is you folks are going to like how all of that comes out.

As I said, using Missouri law, the cop could have legally shot him in
the back. He was a fleeing felon, who used violence against the
officer. Bang Bang you are dead

Fleeing felon? Does getting in a wrestling match with a cop through
his cruiser window make Michael Brown a felon?

It has not been determined what happened while Wilson was still in the
cruiser. Witness reports vary. It will be up to the grand jury to
decide if charges are to be filed (which I suspect will happen).

BTW:

(Mo.Ann. Stat. §565.050).

Under Missouri law, the most serious assault crimes are assault in the
first degree and assault in the second degree. Both of these crimes are
felonies.

A person is guilty of assault in the first degree if he:

knowingly attempts to kill another person, or
knowingly causes or attempts to cause another person serious
physical injury.

If a first degree assault results in serious physical injury to the
victim, the crime is a Class A felony which is punishable by 10 to 30
years, or even life in prison. If a first degree assault does not result
in serious physical injury to the victim, the crime is a Class B felony,
punishable by five to 15 years in prison.
