I think the only thing that should come from Mike Brown's death is a realization to the laws set in place to protect us and the measures that have to be used to uphold them. I think its time we start realizing as a community or as a whole that we need to respect the laws at hand and the people who are doing what it takes to keep those laws upheld. Secondly I hope people will learn the distinction between police brutality and justifiable means. Its not brutality when an officer commands you to stop trying to take his gun and warns you he'll shoot if you continue, then you get shot dead (justified). If a cop tells you to put your hands up and they're up but then still tazes you, police brutality. People need to wash out the idea in their head that just because you don't have a weapon you cant be shot by a police officer this isn't the movies, anyone who poses a threat to an officer can be shot and killed, thats just the way it is!
