Most of you people eat up whatever the media feeds to you. A gun? YES, there was a gun found. He threw it into the woods and it was recovered. Here's a thought, how about educating yourselves of the incident before posting your ludicrous comments about what you THINK happened. As for Mr. Brown being such an upstanding citizen, think again. Am I standing up for Alexander PD, not exactly. Yes, they should train their officers properly before allowing them to patrol the streets. But, I do know that with the resources they have, there isn't much for them to offer. Also, for you brainless imbeciles, after an officer is hired they have up to a year to attend the Arkansas Law Enforcement Training Academy, otherwise known as ALETA.

Look here...U already know she wasn't properly trained.. Did she feel threatened?? Most likely! And...Call me what you wish but I think everybody deserves their day in court. Let a jury of their own peers decide. In all cases!!

No one should be shot while being cuffed; unless they were resisting to the point of trying to take the officers weapon. I wasn't there, but I'm thinking he wasn't resisting. We've heard already that she did not have all of her training completed; manslaughter sounds good to me. I smell a civil suit also; perhaps if the Alexander PD loses enough dough, they will train their officers properly in the future

You tell me don't judge but yet you....and most of the people here do it everyday on all news stories. You judge the people that have been arrested. Not yet convicted. The ones that are suppose to be innocent until proven guilty. Why wasn't you saying don't judge the "ghetto thugs". What does she suppose to be special because she's the police. I hate to break it to you Judy but she is looking pretty damn criminal to me right now. Don't be a hypocrite its not a good look.

My dad used to work for CHP and I have friends that are cops. If they are guilty, they need to be sentenced. Let the jury decide. Years ago I knew a cop that got caught stealing jet skis from a business. I didn't take up for him. If your a criminal, your a criminal....
