the LARGE latitude they allow cops (which is why we have this fucking police problem) when it comes to them claiming "they felt threatened". This is why Wilson was SURE to say that Brown went for his gun in his car. That opens the door for future claim outside the car that he had legitimate reason to believe that when Brown turned around "and came at him" that he was going to go for his gun and was therefore an imminent threat. Wilson could even say that Brown didn't charge him, but just turned around abruptly and I'd bet a jury could be convinced that was enough to make Wilson fear for his life. We are talking about a black guy after all.

I'm guessing this will go to trial, but I have serious concerns about a conviction for this reason. Or maybe a watered down conviction. And then the riots start....
