re: Does the evidence even matter in the Brown shooting?

Agreed, but I don't think it's because of any narrative. Had the police been a little more forthcoming with info from the start, some of the negative sentiment would have been abated. The local police have created their own narrative which has caused a lot of the animosity. At this point, there's no reasonable outcome to this.

Timeline:
Saturday approx. noon Brown is shot
Sunday morning police at presser say Brown was unarmed and shot after struggle for gun...
Sunday night a candlelight vigil mourning Brown turns violent around 9:00pm

It is what it is, and it happened relatively fast. If the people involved don't trust the system to provide justice then the result is chaos.
