10. I have not seen anyone suggesting that on DU.

There are numerous threads where people insist that what is shown in the convenience store tapes can't possibly be robbery since it was only a low value pack of cigarellos - with many people correcting that misunderstanding of the law (with most clearly stating that naming what went on in the convenience store correctly has no bearing on the later police behavior).

Please link to a single post on DU where anyone has asserted that if Michael Brown robbed a convenience store, he got what was coming to him when police shot him, because I have not seen any statements here that even even come close to that.
