It gets very tiring hearing hyperbole and bias from any and all sides. The few even-keeled views I've seen have been nice to see and help me from going crazy myself (I work in south St. Louis, so everyone is on about it).
Brown stealing cigarillos isn't right, but irrelevant to the shooting. Brown, by what I've heard, probably assaulted a police office in his car. If he had been shot in a scuffle inside a police car, I could call it justified. Shooting an unarmed person who is 30 ft away and no longer being aggressive...I can't see how to justify that.

It sounds like perhaps you've already made up your mind as to what happened? How do you know that he was no longer being aggressive? One side of the story states that he was rushing the police officer at the time the officer unloaded into him. If he was running straight for the officer after previously attacking the officer, is the shooting not justified?
