What did they sue the city for?

So, his parents were/are multi-millionaires?

No sympathy? Perish the thought. _"Is Michael Brown A National Hero"_?

McDonald was clearly keeping his distance from the police and after he was down, he was shot multiple more times.

Brown charged Wilson and contrary to what the race baiters say, Wilson never shot at the downed Brown.

McDonald was a criminal but it was clear that the cop lost his cool. No other cops felt the need to shoot. Only one cop unloaded on him. He was probably fed up with dealing with criminals like LaQuan McDonald, but that's no excuse for his actions. Charging the cop with murder was the correct action.

As a person with no sympathy...

... I don't care what you say. Don't be an idiot. Don't threaten people with a knife and stab a police car, follow officers instructions, get a lawyer AFTER to deal with any of your grievences.

Snitches get stitches as my Norwegian grandma used to say. Or maybe that's from a different culture, get 'em confused from time to time.

How come McDonald's family got $5 million when his parents were deadbeats? Wasn't he a ward of the state?

I have zero tolerance for crime or criminals, so naturally I have zero sympathy for either McDonald and Brown. I don't know either person and don't care to know them or their situation. That they're permanently off the streets is a positive thing for everyone to enjoy.
