I know that for several posters in this thread it would seem a mystifying concept, but the reality is that Black lives matter, and the failure to eliminate the disparity between how the heavy hand of law enforcement falls on people of a specific racial background is a problem that is far more important than the petty self-centered rationalizations some folks try to use to whine about how the costs of making society fairer will adversely impact their own personal comfort and luxury.
You're falsely conflating two different issues. I would not disagree that "the heavy hand of law enforcement falls on people of a specific racial background," but that has zip, zero, nada to do with this case. There's no evidence that it did. This guy Michael Brown robbed a convenience store, then beat and snatched a gun from a cop (presumably in order to kill him). Such a person should have the heavy hand of law enforcement falling upon him, regardless of race.
When the race card is played in a case like this, it actually makes it harder for a genuine victim of racism to obtain justice. The strength of their grievance is diluted by the presence of all the false grievances, such as this case, the Trayvon Martin case, the Skip Gates case, etc. All of these cases set the stage for the actual racist cops to prevail. The obvious question then is, why does the entire liberal universe seemingly wish to set the stage for racism to prevail?
I would rather see body cameras on our politicians and President so we could see all the bribery and blatant disregard toward the taxpayers. Look at the gems Gurber gave us during an open door meeting. Imagine the truth we would find in a closed door meeting.

/yawn. Didn't notice.
You would think the "police state" conspiracy theorists would want the body cameras to keep track of what the cops do. The idea has potential to reduce police brutality. Dash cameras already exist, and have sent cops to jail for abuse of power.
I don't think the "conspiracy theorists" really want them. It would give the public proof of what kind of ignorant morons the cops have to deal with every day.
