As has been said, we don't have enough facts to really make any sort of a decision. I'm not pro- or anti-police. There are some really good cops out there. There are some really bad cops out there. Have no clue what kind of officer this was. Do you?

We know Mike Brown was a big kid. We know he was going to start college. We know he had a family who loved him. I have no idea if he was prone to violence when confronted; if he was anti-authority; if he was the class bully or the class clown. Do you?

We know Brown was walking in the middle of the street, was told to move and didn't do so. We don't know if this was told in a way to inflame. We don't know what community-police relations were prior to this incident. We don't know if the officer involved was a bigot who enjoyed bullying teens. We don't know if the officer was just trying to do his job in a reasonable manner without using any inflammatory speech or behavior. Do you?

Assumptions are easy to make. But, to me, there are just too many facts missing to even come up with a reasonable guess for any right or wrong to be assigned.
