Michael Brown, Jr. was gunned down at the age of 18 years old for absolutely no reason. He was gunned down by a police officer that used his gun for control because he was a piss poor officer. Will he be charged? No. See, being a piss poor officer doesn't mean you are guilty of murder, it simply means you are a piss, poor officer that needs his gun to collect his paycheck. Killing isn' this problem, it is control of 'the street' that is his problem and every black man anywhere near the officer was going to know he doesn't mess around and this could be you, too.

“Big Mike,” (click here) as some of his friends called Michael Brown Jr., wasn’t the type to fight, family and neighbors said, though he lived in a restless neighborhood where police were on frequent patrol. His parents and neighbors described him as a good-hearted kid with an easy smile who certainly wouldn’t have condoned the violence and looting that spread though his north St. Louis suburb following his death. “He was funny, silly, he would make you laugh,” his father said, and when there was “any problem going on, any situation, there wasn’t nothing that he couldn’t solve. He could bring people back together.”...
"Dad, do you think I might be a good ball player in college, enough to make people notice?" I imagine he had many hopes, but, that doesn't matter so long as the shooting was a good shooting.
