Yes, the behavior in Ferguson is unexcusable but it is understandable. Do any of you really believe that Off. Wilson would have treated three white boys walking in the street the same way as he did Brown? (Remember, he did not know about the shoplifting incident.)

Are you sticking to the statement, "he did not know...."
All the information I read, he did know about the robbery and had a description of Mike. The police radio transmission are on the record.
Am I missing something??
Thanks
