Naw man. I see what you're trying to do. I used to be like you, all "As usual, the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle" and all that jazz.
Let me let you in on a little secret. That actually isn't usually the case. Especially, and most unfortunately, in regards to race in america.
It unfortunately boils down to systemic racism, perpetrated by white people (and sometimes PoC) in power.
Most importantly however, this
white cop executed an
unarmed black teenager. This is merely the latest and biggest of hundreds upon hundreds of stories of police brutality and murder directed at PoC and especially black men, usually perpetrated by white police officers. Brown was executed in broad daylight after surrendering and putting his hands in the air.
And you are trying to defend the white person who did it.
Let that sink in for a moment. I know you mean well. You aren't trying to make a villain here. But look at your post. You demonize brown. In one sentence you use his name for the person on that video robbing the store, despite the fact that there is no evidence that actually was Brown, and you yourself said that shouldn't matter in regards to the shooting. In another instance you said that the cop's gun must have been shot while he was wrestling with Brown in the car, assuming that the cop's story was the true one when there is no evidence to support this.
And then you defend the cop, the white cop who murdered an unarmed black teenager, to high heaven. You make excuses for the gun being shot the first time. You say the cop was under attack when there is zero evidence to support this. You say, (and this is the part of your post that almost made me think you were a troll) that
brown must have been shot in the head accidentally when he got on his knees to surrender. You then proceed to say that the cop should be found innocent of murder.
Innocent of shooting an unarmed, defenseless, fleeing, kneeling, hands-in-the-air-in-surrender man
Six. Times. He shot him six fucking times man.
And you are bending over backwards to try and make this man sound like he isn't a villain.
Now, is he frothing at the mouth? Probably not. Is he a racist asshole that deserves to be locked up for life for the horrible thing he did? Yea, I think even if Brown was being violent (Spoiler alert! He wasn't) we can still safely say that cop is a villain and doesn't deserve to have a life after he stole Brown's.
Also, this is all taken out of context of the events that have been happening within Ferguson this past week. Taken in context, it becomes even more obvious that the cop was a racist asshole in a department of racist assholes in a country of racist assholes.
