(+) Yeah! (+)

I am absolutely appalled by Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Freddie Gray, and George Floyd's deaths. Victims of American Racism and police brutality that needs to be fixed pronto

But people trying to defend Mike Brown ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no

---

Breonna Taylor's death too, reading about that makes me legit want to vomit

I tend to take a more conservative approach but there is so much blood with no excuses.

The Mike brown case was so long ago I kind of forget all the deatails or what details ended up being true or not.

From what I recall feeling at the time I kinda remember thinking that neither side (ie Brown and the cop) were necessarily evil but obviously both took things too far which unfortunately ended up with brown dead.

But yeah alot of the other big murders were definitely awful and the cops involved indefensible.

Perhaps Officer Wilson was too quick to pull a gun out but Mike Brown tried to wrestle the gun away from him, which seems like intent to kill Wilson.

The "Hands Up Don't Shoot" quote was media created bs. Brown was wanted for armed robbery, although if Wilson knew this or not was in question.
