Pogeu, I think we all would agree that the store video shows Brown acting like a thug. But the cop did not know this when he accosted Brown, so it is absurd for you to continue to cite this to excuse the cop shooting him dead


It looks very likely to me and many others that the cop acted thuggishly when he pulled his car right next to Brown and got in his face very aggressively. The cop provoked Brown with this behavior and then shot him when Brown pushed back. Bottom line - Brown behaved badly, but did not deserve to be shot dead for overreacting to borderline police brutality.
