Sorry Keith, but this doesn’t apply to Michael Brown. The kid was a known thug who fought with a cop for his gun. While the cop didn’t know he had just assaulted and robbed a store, he did. He wasn’t shot in the back. The cop didn’t stand over him and pump rounds into him, and he wasn’t surrendering. Scientific fact will beat out hearsay every time. Those thugs put a cop in a dangerous situation and someone died. While this was a sad incident, it could have been avoided if they had just stepped out of the street.
With all that said, I do want to state that unjustifiable shootings of young black men do occur in this country all too often. This just IMO wasn’t one of them. Now my old stomping grounds have become a war zone/media zoo and no one seems to be doing anything about it.
