Do you know what causes someone to think that they can get high, rob a store for something they want instead of paying for it, and attack a police officer unprovoked? It's entitlement and a lack of learning that there are consequences for your actions.
There are consequences to attacking a police officer unprovoked. Those consequences can include getting shot. If Michael Brown didn't want to get shot, then he shouldn't have attacked the police officer. It's pretty fucking simple.
I'm sorry that his family and friends are having to deal with all of this all because Michael Brown was a fuck-up, but the police got it right on this one.
I'm for equality, so Michael Brown being black and Officer Wilson being white means absolutely jack shit to me because I see them both as human beings. One big-ass human being attacked a not-so-big-ass human being who had a gun and used it within the confines of the law (even if he wasn't a cop) to protect himself. It's unfair to say that he isn't able to do that when someone is attacking him because it puts the burden on the victim.
