Wow. A local yokel police force?
That was actually a SWAT team. Do you know what a SWAT team does? I mean, come on.
They had 15 area police forces with them, and SWAT, that was not the Ferguson PD, it was SWAT, which is para-military.
If people could step back from the emotions a bit, it might be helpful. It also has zip, zero, silch, to do with this thread.
The police line was still in place near West
Florissant and Ferguson avenues but had not
advanced to the site of the protest line as of 2:30.
Officers also did not move in during the looting.
FERGUSON, Mo. (KMOV.com) --Multiple police agencies were called to
Ferguson early Saturday morning
following reports of violence.
About 200 protesters clashed with
police at the height of the disturbance
at the Ferguson Market, where they
began looting. Police said they tried to
set the store on fire.
About 100 police officers in riot gear
moved in to disperse the crowd. One
officer was injured by a thrown brick or
rock.

...you used the word depraved to describe Brown's actions, a word which carries an extreme interpretation of evil, violence, mayhem, etc.
Now you're downgrading it to immoral.

But depraved? ----> "Very evil. Having or showing an immoral character."

I find your approach to the whole thing extremely one-sided and arrogant.
