This shit so similar Trayvon its sickening smh. Same way I believe Trayvon was getting off Zimmerman with his hands up just like Mike surrendering to a gun being pointed at them, then getting executed. To the way they attacking their character after the fact.
BUT trayvon didnt commit a crime the same day (or minutes before) his death.
no one claimed to say trayvon peeping in windws, or breaking into cars/houses.
in this case, its MUCH different.
please DONT compare this to travyon.

ya'll not gonna like what im about to say, but here goes...
shoplifting is grabing the item and leaving.
buglary, is breaking a glass, or door to get an item
robbery (storng arm), is when you hit, push, shove,, threaten someone, and take the item. (watch video)
robbery (armed) is when you threaten someone with a weapon, and take the item.
video link corrected !

in this case, (watch the video above), he committed robbery (strong arm).
1. the store clerk confrinted him.
2. he could had droped the items, and left the store.
3. he grabed/pushed/shoved the clerk owner.
4. instead of exiting the store, he re-approached the clerk, and gave that stance of "what u gonna do?"
5. then left with the items.
i agree this is
VERY VERY petty item stolen (polce report said $49 in merchandise).
a retal box of 40 blunts, maybe what 99c each?.
but if this young man would had simply said to his homie.
"hey lets just go play some ball, or go to the library and read a book"
he may still be alive today.
this is all in vain. sad loss.
it still
dont mean the cop should had
SHOT him unarmed. but after watching that video. (and seeing what he did to the clerk), the police will have no problem to convey to a grand jury (or trail jury), that mike would
not easily surrender, or give up when confronted. and they will continue to claim mike was resisting arrest.
so now, the cop wont even face a trail, or if he does he will be easily acquitted. (even easier than zimmerman).
sad. very sad..
and now that his friend, (via attorney) has ADMITED that mike did indeed stole from the store.
and now in my eyes, and many other followers, all the protest have been in vain.
and not many respectable people will not follow this story.
we must now move on, and find a better cause to stand behind.
