Fighting with a cop certainly does not mean one deserves to die. And to read that tells me everything I need to know about your stance on this issue and I can't believe someone as well read and well educated as you, IP, actually believes that.

So many unknowns in this case and I doubt we'll ever know exactly how it went down.
The he media spin on both sides is sick. First, it was the eye witnesses saying Brown surrendered. Then of course, showing older pics of Brown looking like a nice, innocent teen. Then the pendulum swung and it was the media reporting Brown had actually fractured the cops eye socket. Turns out none of it is true.

or is it? Who knows.

Most important and I think it's often lost in the emotional attachment to an event like this is to focus on facts and the law. They're not sexy so they're not given much TV time but it's what will ultimately decide this case.
