It will be just a matter of time the black will be crying because there are not very many stores in their area.

What a country.
A slight correction, the first store looted/burned to the ground was a QT mistakenly identified as the store Brown liberated those poor Swisher Sweets from.

Last night the store he really robbed was looted.

The cops stood down. No "police brutality" can be claimed.
Now the people of the town will have to deal with the looters themselves.

Na it wont play out like that...all ive been hearing on mainstream news is how "when you watch what is going on in ferguson missouri it "FEELS LIKE AMERICA HAS DECLARED WAR ON BLACK PEOPLE". Even if the cop is completely innocent and completely exonerated due to 100% evidence it doesnt matter. No one will care or remember about what really happened. the damage has already been done. Pretty much everyone who matters aka has a voice is on browns side aka the black people who are "justifiably against the white power structure of this country"

So those in that community knew he was the one who strong armed that store from the beginning.

6'4, 290 lbs, "strong armed robber", assaulted a cop through the window of a police car, tried to take the officer's gun. Yep, fine, outstanding honor student right there. I wonder how much more of a criminal history he has.

What the honest,peaceful and law abiding citizens will have to deal with is no more stores near term and possibly for years to come.

Cops (and private citizens) aren't trained to "shoot to kill", they are trained to shoot to stop the threat. Shooting in the leg or shooting the gun out of the bad guys hand is Hollywood ignorance.

That'd be my guess. No factual evidence to support that though.
