This is all so weird, Michael Brown was robbing a store and being aggressive with the owner, but that was right? Then fleeing from a crime? Guns and shooting and killing are not right, maybe tazers or rubber bullets are better to detain criminals, or shooting them at the legs only so to not kill them when they commit a crime and fleeing. It is so strange that so many take the side of the criminal Brown over a police officer trying to detain a fleeing criminal? is our country and law enforcement just getting wacked out of control? Why can't we just have a society that is good and is not robbing or committing crimes like this? Illegal immigrants are committing a crime too and fleeing, but they don't shoot them. Do we want laws and enforcement or not in the USA? All the double standards and often lack of enforcement is so confusing and just a mess in this country. Too bad they didn't just detain and not kill Brown so he could then rot in jail instead.

Why don't all these black people who want to wear these shirts and protest so much, step up to the plate then and become cops themselves, what do they do? They like to be part of the problem instead of part of the solution, study and become a copy then in your city, make a difference. It is not easy policing thugs like Michael Brown who push store owners around and try to rob them. Maybe they will then realize the real problem.
