Thatdude I have to respectfully disagree there are pictures of Mike Brown all over the internet with bags of weed, throwing up gang signs and holding weapons he wanted to portray the gangster lifestyle - he was far from being a model citizen or an angel. Remember there are lot of gang bangers who live a thuggish life style ex: bear up people, car jack sell illegal narcotics but have clean records because they haven't been caught that doesn't make them a good person. I don't think the black community should paint mike brown as if he was some church going law abiding straight A student that never committed a crime in his life- the way I look at it if you shoplift something as inexpensive as cigars without any care if the world you would rob and steal anything.

Look at the numbers and see which one happens more often. And then look at which ones get news coverage. It's a fuckin joke man. And only suckers buy into it.
