What we have here is evidence that Brown is a criminal and did not mind using his large size and aggressive attitude as a physical means of intimidation. This was no "little boy". So many of the protesters and media talking heads are saying that those actions do not justify getting shot. They are not only missing the point, they are making up an entirely different point to suit their needs. Brown did not get shot because he was a criminal/thief, he got shot because he got into a serious physical altercation with a uniformed officer, which was precipitated by the officer correctly recognizing Brown as being a suspected criminal/thief. I can easily see where an unarmed aggressor could get himself shot if he is twice the size of the armed person he is attacking. Because of the race/age issue, many will never be interested in the facts.

Thanks for the link to that store security video TomT. That says alot. Fuggin' joke what this country has become, where that many people (of all races too) will come out and riot in support of such an obvious douchebag. Hopefully some good comes out of all of this. Regular people can see how twisted this country had become and will step up to take it back.

No problem Pittu! I like to think that I judge people on their personal merits as opposed to sex, race, etc. While the store surveillance video doesn't mean that Michael Brown should have been shot/killed, it DOES show a person that has NO IDEA how to behave in public, and he was NOT a good person as the rioters in Ferguson make him seem to be. He was a thug plain and simple!
