It wouldn't have mattered if Michael Brown was a MURDERER. [View all]

It doesn't matter that he just committed a robbery at a convenience store minutes before being shot. The police cannot shoot someone in the back who is running away without that person being an immediate threat to the public. The police cannot shoot someone with their hands in the air, surrendering, even if that person had JUST COMMITTED MURDER!


It seems some posters here think that just because Michael Brown robbed a convenience store means he deserved to be shot down like a dog in the street.
