"Infuriated"

In an example of why our communities suffer from a disproportionate amount of violent crime:
But in a move that infuriated Brown’s family, police also released security camera footage and an incident report that implicated the 18-year-old in an earlier robbery at a convenience store. The family’s lawyer described the revelation, which came unaccompanied by any further details of the shooting, as a “character assassination”. [My underlines]
In any sane society the above would have read:
But in a move that [brought shame to the] Brown’s family, police also released security camera footage and an incident report that implicated the 18-year-old in an earlier robbery at a convenience store. The family’s lawyer described the revelation, which came unaccompanied by any further details of the shooting, as a [a sad situation and that the family extends it's apologies to the store owner for any harm that came to him and for the destruction of his property and livelihood in the resulting riots].
But we don't have a sane society do we?
Brown’s family attorney, Benjamin Crump, said his parents were “incensed” and accused police of playing “the old game of smoke and mirrors.” He added: “It’s bad enough they assassinated him, and now they’re trying to assassinate his character.”
Sure. Because the video is obviously a fake. The 911 call is obviously fake and there was no reason for any officer to have any dealings with Brown.

Now we understand why 105 or 113 killed in St. Louis in 2013 were black.

See. Brown is not Sean Bell. Sean Bell didn't rob anybody. Sean Bell was trying to go home to his bride to be. Sean Bell was shot for no good reason.

Brown is not Trayvon. Trayvon was walking down the street talking to Rachel. He bought items at the store. He didn't rob it. Zimmerman should have stayed his ass in his car. Trayvon was defending himself against an armed stalker who he did not know.

Brown is not Renisha McBride, who was shot in the face at close range for banging on someone's door, looking for assistance late at night after having a car accident. Renisha is dead because some guy didn't have the decency to call through the door to simply ask "what do you want?"

No, Brown is not any of these innocent black people. Brown robbed a store and assaulted its owner. Brown lived by force and died by force. And now that we know Brown is not above stealing and assaulting people it is not beyond reasonable doubt that he did in fact assault the police officer in question.
