>> The fact is, neither of those two young men had a track record of violence. We know he assaulted a police officer. We do know that much.

>> Do you honesty think that video proves Brown needed to die? No one has claimed that Brown "needed" to die. But when you attack a police officer you very well may end up dead. Anyone with any sense at all knows this. This was not merely "resisting." This was an attack -- hitting a police officer with his fists. People can end up dead for that and in some cases, yes, that is what "needs" to happen. I really don't know how you defend Brown at all. Any thinking person can see that you cannot have police being assaulted by criminals and require the police to stand there and take it. That's just dumb. Hopefully, teens everywhere, black and white, will take a lesson from it: If the cop tells you to do something, you do it and ask questions later. You don't lash out at the cop verbally, and you sure as hell don't lash out physically. Because there is a good chance you will end up dead. Your position is totally insane.

You can go through the public information of most anybody around their age and find similar stuff to be "outraged" over. Not Ten. I'm sure he was a perfectly obedient Asian all through his teens. He's never taken a walk on the wild side.

Saint Trayvon had a track record of violence all over the internet. 292 pound thug Michael Brown had just roughed up a convenience store owner 1/3 his size (VIDEO seen by everyone except pathetic combelly) 10 minutes before he assaulted officer Wilson.

It did establish "state of mind" shortly before the shooting. He was quite unreasonable and demonstrated he was violent. The video proves no such thing. A single incident does not establish his personality.

Both Trayvon and Brown committed crimes of violence just before they were killed.

CJ, The fact is, neither of those two young men had a track record of violence. This is exactly the kind of lie that the video disproves. Y'all did the same for Trayvon Martin. After seeing how far those on Michael Brown's side are willing to stretch the truth, I'm willing to bet that those on Trayvon Martin's side (who are basically the same people) are willing to do the same. This is why I love pointing out the facts to you. Watching you twist and squirm to get around the truth is just as much fun as watching Cirque du Soleil. Tenchusatsu
