(26,060 posts)is what's wrong with your entire post. Nobody believes if Mr. Brown and his friend were white and walking down the street, this would have happened. The cops already said Mr. Wilson did not know about the robbery when he stopped. The police NEVER mentioned the robbery to Mr. Brown and his friend according to ANY of the witnesses so that's nothing but bullshit. I'm not one to say something is racist just because it could be. It really does seem to be the problem here. And let's not forget, robbery punishment does not include the death penalty.
Edited to add: We also cannot forget the fact it took at least 2 weeks before a police report on the shooting was done - something that is required much earlier. And the one released was so heavily redacted and major parts weren't filled in at all. The police handled this horribly and I can't help but think it was because they wanted what the report said to fit into whatever lie Officer Wilson told them.
