No we're talking assaulted a police officer.

I think it is likely that if the officer had not done what he did he would have been beaten to death or close to it, or murdered with his own weapon.

The responsibility for this is more on the parents than anybody else although kids are exposed to so much these days I don't know that they can be held totally responsible.

Right, he chased after Brown for 100-150 feet with his gun drawn in order to keep Brown from beating him to death.

So I suggest one not try to plump up one's point by escalating that, or the convenience store incident, to mass murder.
