Missouri Law Gives Officers too Broad of a License to Kill

Darren Wilson killed Michael Brown, and he will face no legal repercussions for his actions.  Some members of our society are pleased with this result.  Others are outraged.  But while many people have strong opinions on this particular case, most of them are not familiar with the Missouri law that allowed Darren Wilson to shoot Michael Brown to death and face no criminal responsibility.  In Missouri, that law falls under the defense of Justification.  It is a law that gives police officers the right to kill people who are suspected of minor crimes, and it  desperately needs to change.
