Also the people brought up as "wrongly killed" are often not very nice good upstanding citizens....like Mike Brown for example. Now I don't care if he had marijuana in his system or whatever the way things went down that day don't point to Michael Brown being "accidentally killed" nor do they point to Michael Brown being "savagely murdered by an uncaring authoritarian white police officer" ....the signs point to Michael Brown not really wanting to deal with authority on that day as evidenced by his treatment of the shop owner and later Officer Wilson himself.

"Tragic" that a man (18 year old) would act that way? Yes, I agree 100%

"Avoidable" that a policeman would shoot a suspect? YES, but the suspect can raise or lower their own odds by the way they CHOOSE to act.

Correct, but I'm never surprised, always disappointed. And of course I didn't want you to feel like I lashed out at YOU in my response, but it's so fucking frustrating as I am sure you understand.
