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.
