To corrie32 its not shoplifting when you're caught and use force, thats strong arm robbery. Also ninja the force by the police is somewhat justifiable because the animals are only peaceful for minimal amounts of time before looting robbing and vandalism occurs. They're just trying to prevent problems. If Brown was confronted by police he should have cooperated and been on his way not got confrontational, no one likes being hassled by cops but just do as they ask (to an extent) and be done. Id bet my years salary he turned it into a racist slur of bullshit and caused more problems than necessary resulting the way it did.
