Michael Brown was a thug. But even so he didn't deserve a death sentence for roughing up a shopkeeper and taking a handful of shitty cheap cigarillos. Michael Brown had big problems, yeah, but the cop should have called for backup and they could have taken him in without killing him. And he certainly didn't deserve to have his dead body lying out in the open for 4 hours like roadkill - between the cop shooting him and the lack of an appropriate response, it all shows a disgusting lack of respect and care for poor folks, and that's still the core issue regardless of whether Michael Brown was a thug or not.

Michael Brown was killed because he was "charging" a policeman.  He had already struggled with him and tried to take his gun.  That simple.

As for the "roadkill", this is not rare in these cases.  Have you ever been on a highway where there was a death in an auto accident?

For the record, I had a friend whose grandmother was raped and killed at home.  That scene was also preserved for a long time in what appeared to be a coldhearted manner.  For the record, the victim was white.  Granted, it was in her home instead of the road, but this is not abnormal procedure when there is a death by violence.  This was many years ago, and I still remember how upset my friend was about it.

Should the body have been handled differently?  Probably.  However, the crime scene is usually preserved in these cases until the proper officials can investigate.  I don't know if that happened in the Michael Brown case, but, I assure you, it is not a racial thing.
