Are you saying unarmed citizens who attack cops with their hands should be shot? Then there's nothing wrong with what Zimmerman did.

But there have been some dirty cops do some pretty dirty things.



and this one is just crazy...

Well, if a guy knocks a cop flat with his bare hands and turns to the next one, the next cop or even the one who was assaulted (if possible) needs to take action.

If that means shooting him, well...he shouldn't have assaulted a cop in the first place.
