A good aspiring rapper? Was he also getting his life around?

We are hearing these news reports about how he was a fine young man and all that. We really need to know exactly what happened in that shooting. I don’t want to rush to judgement.

Unfortunately all the looters used this case to start a riot. They rushed to judgement. If he was such a fine young man why are the violent looters doing all that in the name of Michael Brown?? I never follow the logic of rioting to protest some alleged wrongdoing.

“Nice/respectful aspiring rapper” - I think we’ve discovered the common thread in these shootings.

If Michael Brows was so “respectful,” why didn’t he get out of the middle of the street when the police officer politely asked him to walk on the sidewalk instead of the middle of the street?

His relatives and friends are laying it on really thick. My guess is that this guy will turn out to have been anything but a saint.

‘wasn’t the type to fight”

A cursory glance at his FB ‘likes’ looks otherwise...

"Pretty please, with sugar on it."

I don't know what to think at this point...but he's going to college for heating and & air conditioning?

And he was in summer school??

And staying at Grandmas? And from an area where police are called all the time??

And they have his baby picture on t-shirts (I see a pattern)

They riot because they are lawless. That's what they do.

I think there's a lot more to this....a lot more.

Who knows if he asked politely or not?

This is among the unanswered questions in an incident which resulted in someone dying. We need to not rush to judgement, but instead wait for the investigation to happen.

These liberal race baiter types who say the shooting was an act of terrorism also need to chill out, and likewise wait for everything to come out.

Hopefully the rioters are done. They aren’t exactly helping the cause of gaining sympathy for charges of racism and all that, with their behavior.

” why didn’t he get out of the middle of the street’

Could be gang territory and the middle of the street is considered neutral territory.
