Micheal Brown deserved to be shot.

[Godscreated]

I voted probably not, I wasn't the one who had to make a split second decision after having an altercation with Mr. Brown. What I do know is the officer only needed to fire one shot at the most. Six times is unacceptable, and I believe murder. The man should have been engaged in situations to test his ability to control himself under this kind of situation. Stress test should be, if they are not, mandatory for all law enforcement persons.
The thing is done and no trial will happen which I find stupid on many levels. What I want to know is why these people didn't see what was going to happen if he didn't go to trial. They could have sent him to trial and saved many problems, this thing has cost so many so much, the worst though is a family lost a son and brother, even though he was not a model citizen he did not deserve to die. These people in Missouri have cost this nation millions of dollars and raised the distrust between black and whites even in places that didn't seem to be a problem. One thing I do not understand is why people have to be referred to by race, gees were all human beings and in this country were are all Americans, is there something wrong with being just an American, do we really need to place a race in front of American, do we really? Maybe I'm not seeing something others do, but I think it's enough to be an American. I do not see myself as a white American or a Christian American, I don't see others as atheist Americans or African Americans or Hispanic Americans, is there something wrong with the way I see us. I think if more people would see others as people without the race added in we could have a much better society. I'm not saying I do not see the race of people, I do try to make myself color blind and IMO everyone should. Finished with my raving, sorry.
