"We" don't know what Michael Brown's intent was. There's no evidence he had ever been arrested for a felony.

Conveniently, you law-and-order Trumpkins ignore the history of police persecution of African Americans in Ferguson that forms the context for black hostility toward the police.

<< Investigators determined that in “nearly every aspect of Ferguson’s law enforcement system,” African Americans are impacted a severely disproportionate amount. The report included racist e-mails sent by police and municipal court supervisors, repeated examples of bias in law enforcement and a system that seemed built upon using arrest warrants to squeeze money out of residents.>>
