Who effing cares what he was doing prior to being shot and killed for nothing more than Loitering and potentially resisting arrest.
All it does it work exactly the way it's working, running down his character and absolving the individual(s) responsible for his death by turning him into less of a human being.
Even if he, Michael Brown, had just killed someone, unless the arresting officer fears for his life, shooting and killing him is an inappropriate response.
You can't just shoot someone because you think they are acting strange and then justify it afterwards because they happened to commit a crime before your encounter. That's just killing someone.
