Its what people see though, they mostly see blacks as thugs, people who choose ignorance and a life of crime. I'm not saying that brown is like that, but he robbed a liquor store and the man that ran it told him to stop. He then decides to screw with the owner, owner calls cops, cop does his job, then everything becomes war because the cop was trying to do his job. He told brown to put his hands up, but brown just decided to keep on running.
