How could it possibly be designated as character assassination? Was that not really Brown in the video? Actual character assassination only occurs when false information is used to besmirch a person's character.

The video constituted CHARACTER REVELATION.

As for the video inflaming racial tensions, I'm sure it did. The people who are protesting, looting, and rioting don't give a damn about the truth. They have an agenda to promote.

Exactly. At first, the mob tried some lame "grainy video" defense. Now, they're grasping for straws.

Theyre too invested in this pity party, so any contradiction to the "sweet young boy" bullshite will be met with the same two bit argumentative tactics.

I love how the star witness is the other robber of the store. Excuse me. I meant "hero." The man is a hero.

Thank you - I have been waiting for someone to make this assessment.

All that is being assassinated is the false narrative about the "sweet young child, on his knees pleading for his life before that evil racist white storm-trooper shot him in cold blood."

There is no doubt in my mind that the robbery was a seminal event in the shooting - whether the cop knew the details or not. Brown certainly knew that he had robbed a store and strong-armed the clerk just moments before and must have suspected he was being detained for that offense. Hence his attitude and actions to either intimidate the officer or over-power him to get away.

While this may be an example of over-zealous law enforcement, the overwhelming blame for this tragedy rests with the criminal.
