Why do we take the bait?

16. The release of the video is important because

it shows how inept this police department is and how they will use tactics such as this in an attempt to disparage Michael Brown. They did the same sort of thing with Trayvon Martin. This attempt to disparage shines a light on what they did to Trayvon.
What happened in the store was unrelated to what happened to Brown but once they introduced the video it impacted Brown's reputation and how the public looks at the case.
I predict that the early release of the video and the subsequent absence of the cigarillos on Brown's person will figure quite prominently in the future court case against Darren Wilson and the Ferguson police department.
The only people taking the bait are people that want to justify this shooting of an innocent and unarmed man.
