Earlier on CNN there was an interview with either a neighbor of the officer who killed Mike Brown or someone who knew him from school, possibly both. Anyway he gave the "if he shot someone he must have been in fear for his life" speech.

Honestly, I think some of the news might. People spontaneously laying down the law on looters because the cops won't do their jobs is a way more interesting story than RIOTING, LOOTING CONTINUE IN FERGUSON
