The issue people are having with you is you're very oddly calling out those that are speculating that the cop was in the wrong, and saying it's unfair to accuse the cop without all the facts and calling posters hypocrites, while speculating about Michael Brown and creating your own narrative of how you think it went down at the same time. 
Everything in bold is you doing exactly what everyone else is doing, to even more of an extreme than everyone else, as at least those accusing the police officer of not being justified are going off eye witness accounts. |
There's a difference. I have not said that Michael Brown deserved to die. I have not said Michael Brown went for the gun. I have said that what he did was abnormal and confusing behaviour. I have also said, probably more so, that if evidence points to the fact that eye witness reports are accurate that the officer committed murder.
On the other hand there have been people in this thread, people who may not be discussing it any more, that have stated explicitly that it was cut and dry murder like this:

My argument in any case like this, one way or the other, will be innocent until proven guilty. Michael Brown was not proven guilty. Unfortunately that wont bring him back to life. I'm not trying to attack him I feel bad he is dead and especially if he was 'innocent.' Anyone who says that he deserved to die or he 100% went for the gun, I will disagree with. At least until more solid evidence is produced.
On the other hand, the officer has also not been proven guilty either. Anyone who says he executed a man (especially because of his race), I will also disagree with. At least until more solid evidence is produced.
