Brown's family sees the release of the video as an attempt at character assassination.


How is it character assassination? I would see character assassination as showing something that could view out of context or viewed without having the entire story. That's not the case here, the video clearly shows a racists move by brown when he stole and physically intimidated a minority store owner.

I think the feeling is that the video shows a motive for the cop shooting Brown. As we now know, the cop who shot Brown knew nothing about the robbery.

Huh? Certainly Brown was a bully and a thug but I didn't see anything racist about his actions, unless you think that racism MUST be involved whenever a member of one race commits a crime against a member of another race.
