From all of the facts, video and eye-witness statements of this incident though...I don't believe deadly force was justified.
Then add the cops actions afterward and.... 
Since you seem to like yes/no questions though...I have one for you.
Feel free, as I have, to expand on just...the yes or no choice.
Do you believe that more blacks (percentage wise), especially young black men, are stereotyped/stopped/hassled/arrested...more often than young white men in the exact same circumstances?

My quick answer is absolutely. Five years ago I might have said no but I have since read up on the issue and see it much differently.
I think previous interactions with LEOs might have impacted Mr Brooks actions/reactions. Of course we cannot ask him now.
