Michael Brown committed a misdemeanor for stealing a single pack of black and milds from the convenience store, totaling to 2 dollars and 14 cents. The police were called and intercepted him on his way home. During the encounter the officer asked him to raise his hands, at which he did. He asked if he was armed, at which he told the officer that he wasn't. The officer then drew his gun instead of his Taser as he approached him. Confused as to why lethal force was in motion, and In fear of being shot, Michael charged at officer to disarm him. He was shot several times and killed. While some say that Michael overreacted to a gun being drawn on him, others say that he intimidated Michael into reacting the way he did. The mural is about a person, whom arguably defended himself from a law enforcement official, that drew his gun on him, while he was compliant and unarmed, over a stolen pack of black and milds, worth, $2.14.

So why did the protesters attack the police station ? And why haven’t the Browns come forward and said this is not how we celebrate my sons life with more violence . But nothing . So I guess they approve of more violence . And why is the mural of him and his parents ? Should it not be of his accomplishments in his 18 yrs . I mean isn’t that what a mural is suppose to do ? I don’t get it . Where’s his church, school, acts of helping others ? ..??
