"...the young man was weaponized by the sheer fact of being a black male." Truth.

I am glad the true story of Michael Brown's murder is coming out. I doubt that it will gain widespread acceptance in the white or blue communites, but if even a few people reconsider the circumstance, maybe it will help them stay woke. Buying into the "scary Black male" in even a few cases makes it easier for the murders of Black men to be normalized.
