that's what he looks like to me. Maybe if I had seen his picture without knowing about his murder, I would have a different view. But as it stands...

2. What he looks like is the privileged white class of americans who have exacted lynchings

and slavery and racism and Jim Crow (the latter to this very day) against all minorities for a very long time.

He looks like the kind of guy that gives white people like me a bad name.

We could be wrong, he could be a nice guy who loves minorities who just accidentally shot Mr. Brown in the face several times, but not likely.

Why would you say "he looks like an asshole who would be a member of the KKK."?

What he did speaks for itself, but I refuse to label people based on how they "look." That is apparently what this police officer did to Michael Brown. Don't compound his massive error in judgment with your own.

Frankly, he kind of looks like a young version of my Chicago alderman (who is very liberal). Does my alderman look like a Klansman? I would never have thought of that one in a million years.
