"HE WAS A GENTLE GIANT"

Those words were the centerpiece of Michael Brown's funeral in Ferguson yesterday.  

I'm sorry; I don't want to appear to be insensitive to the family's grief but, Brown's rap sheet and strong-arm at the convenience store immediately prior to his shooting don't seem to bear that out. 

The immediate assessment that the officer was criminally to blame for Brown's death is, in fact, prejudicial.
