Curious as to the people asserting that the police force was only acting to save property from "rioters and looters" when a state senator has come forward accusing the police of gassing a peaceful protest she was participating in, and in fact, there are no reports suggesting rioting beyond the initial reaction to the incident.

Particularly worrying are the arrests of aldermen and journalists who seem to be committing the crime of "not doing what the police want." It is also off-putting to see people come so rabidly to the defense of this police department when they have been explicitly relieved of all duties as a result of their overreaching misconduct.

Hopefully the focus can return to the shooting, media portrayal of the victim, and the role race plays in police work.

Mike Brown was not a random unarmed kid that got randomly approached by a police officer for no reason at all.
Prior to the incidents Brown robbed a local store in the vicinity.
Saying that unarmed as if that means that an individual, particularly one as tall and heavy as Brown, can not possibly be dangerous at any rate is incorrect.



I don't know precisely what happened, and I honestly don't care too much since I don't even live in the USA, but I am inclined to doubt that it is a black and white situation.

Here are some sources that can speak for themselves.
