The thing about reading a sentence is that you need to read the whole sentence.

Brown was killed before proven guilty in court. That is entire unambiguous and still horrible.
.... and the matter with citing law is that you have to understand the law. You are citing constitutional reference that regards the rights of the accused, and that the [i]government[/b] may not violate their rights under due process. The constitutional law exists to protect the rights of all the accused within the US.

The law that applies to Brown and the cop is Missouri law, not US code. Being that the physical evidence of both the state and Browns family show that the cops version was correct and that he was backing away from a criminal continuing to charge him, the state found the action of the cop legal and did not charge the cop.


You can't twist constitutional rights and apply them in a form they are not intended for. But by all means, continue acting as if others can't understand a sentence.
