“The family claims the shooting could have been prevented.”

That’s true. If you don’t strongarm-rob a convenience store and then decide to go mano a mano with a police officer, you can prevent being shot.

Michael Brown was black. He would have been shot by Darren Wilson no matter what he did. It's what white police officers do - shoot blacks for fun and profit, mostly fun. Another example of The Rising Tide of Racism in America (trademark pending).

Either that or it's Bush's fault.

Michael Brown and Treyvon Martin died for the same reason: each attacked a man who had a gun and knew how to use it.
