Brown getting shot had nothing to do with his lifestyle. It is only about what happened during the time frame he was with the officer. Anything else is tabloid fodder. It's a shame the lemmings lap it up.
Well they sure delved into Wilson's state of mind that day, reading his elmails and texts following his every move to see if he was 'itchin' to shoot a black guy. Brown's activities that day were just as relevant.
It is a rare bird that feels as confident as Brown, to strong arm a store owner. That wasn't his first time. The guy was a thug, acted like a thug and ended up like a not so smart overconfident thug.
Sympathy would flow easier if supporters didn't try to paint him as a saintly young child about to embark on a humanitarian career after graduation from Harvard and gunned down by a lying racist cop.
Of course ignoring the facts does help their cause as the rest of the country, all races combined, if that is important to you, shake their collective heads at the bewildering attitude of the 'deniers'.

The NY Times tell us he was just getting into religion just weeks before he robbed the store and decided to challenge an armed police officer.
But if that were true , why did he do the things he did?
The protestors are calling him an innocent and that's just not the truth. All these media big mouths like Al Sharpton are lying in order to get more money and media attention for themselves.
a thug, every kid, white black or what ever race that acts like an ass, steals some cigars and pushes the shop keeper out of the way is a hardened criminal for life. an act that had he been arrested and tried in a court of law most likely would of been plead down to shoplifting.
FYI there have been millions of kids over the generations that have done bad things and still grew up to be decent people. some folks do learn a lesson after getting in trouble with the law.
using the "crystal ball" that many conservatives are using to judge MB, his entire life that he won't be living would of been crime ridden. should now have laws to put people away because we "think" they will be criminal all their life?
The firearm has been elevated to be the panacea for every nefarious thing that could possibly happen to anyone.
Having said that, why did Michael and his suck-up pinch buddy insist on walking up the center of a roadway after just committing a robbery NOT a shoplifting? Why look for attention?
When the attention he was baiting arrived, why get in the cops face knowing he would not win that exchange regardless if he thought getting shot was not in the cards. He knew the outcome of him being in a cop's spotlight would result in himself and his friend being arrested for that robbery.
It is my thought he knew he'd gone too far by chest-bump scaring the little shop keeper and he knew it was just a matter of time before he'd be brought to account for that. While walking and thinking about how stupid he'd been in that little exercise to impress a suck-up buddy he knew he'd crossed a line and there was no going back; possibly even realized a criminal record was now in his future.
It's what one does after you realize you've made a mistake that decides which fork in the road you go down. He chose to ratchet up his anger and frustration at his world of living in an area of racial strife and bigotry .....wrong choice.
The cop's training was based upon that earlier nonsense of the firearm being the ultimate answer when simply slamming his Tahoe into reverse and letting Michael beat on the hood instead of his face would have been far more efficient. You got 300 HP and 5000lbs of vehicle under your butt and all you can think of is your stupid little arsenal?
Back up 100 ft and get on the radio. If you drag fat-assed Michael with you, so much the better, proof positive he was stuck in the car window attempting to beat on you. Sitting in that car with nothing but your stupid gun on your mind says everything about the typical cop training today and nothing about your intelligence.
Of course Michael's actions led to his death, but the pervasive 'stand your ground' nonsense is the big contributor to this happening over and over again. Putting a gun on your hip does not confer immortality or the automatic default to it being the absolute arbiter.
No one needed to die.
Stand your ground nonsense???!!!
First of all, he is a police officer, they are supposed to stand their ground!
Secondly, once that thug made physical contact by lunging into the marked police vehicle and trying to wrestle the gun from the cop (were you aware that MB's DNA was actually on the gun?) it was a fight to the death.
Furthermore, after the cop exited the cruiser, MB turned around and came back at him, 21' of blood evidence on the street showed this. Given the size of MB and what had just occurred, deadly force was justified.
I for one take my hat off to Pharrell Williams. I didn't know anything about him until I started watching the Voice. I notice he gives outstanding advice to the young people he talks to, regardless of their skin color, and he is a very caring individual. In my book, that makes him a very good young man.
I think there is much more behind the Michael Brown thing than meets the eye. Check this link out and see what conclusions you make.

This maggot had it coming!
had MB been arrested without incident, the punishment for what would of been plead down to shoplifting deserves the death penalty?
There´s no doubt he was a mean and vicious bully. If you see the tape of him robbing that sore owner and shoving him, there´s no other conclusion. The he attacks a cop, come on man...he needed to be taken from the gene pool and he was by his actions.
