[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will say I was more sympathetic to the Michael Brown case before it came out that he stole. Yes -- I realize it's unconnected to him being stopped and no I don't believe that the punishment for stealing $40 worth of cigars is being shot. It just demonstrates a thug like manner of living that I just can't be that sympathetic to -- I mean this isn't a case of the kid stealing food to feed his family but cigars --bc he thought it was his right to walk in there and take whatever he wanted.[/quote]

This makes no sense. You are still saying he deserved to be shot. Just like Trayvon deserved to be shot because he smoked pot, right? [/quote]

No I'm not saying he deserved to be shot. The punishment for stealing $40 of goods should not be capital punishment. BUT the fact that he did steal makes me less sympathetic to him. The cops saw him as a thug and shot him. Guess what -- he WAS a thug as evidenced by the fact that he had stolen 10 min prior. How are cops supposed to distinguish the good from the bad when so many black men are out there acting like thugs?? Maybe the cop didn't want to risk his life by giving this guy the benefit of the doubt that he was unarmed. Maybe the fact that he didn't listen to instructions and had cigars in his hand was enough for that cop not to want to take that chance. Over zealous policing but honestly given the thug like culture that the majority of AAs subscribe to, these kinds of "mistakes" are going to happen.[/quote]
