The fact that you, the OP, don't grasp the difference shows how little you understand the emotions and anger surrounding the Brown shooting.

These 2 statements make it seem that you believe the garbage the media pollutes our country with? If so, that's unfortunate.
There should be more anger surrounding the hostage guy, he was literally killed for no reason by assumption.
Mr Brown was assaulting a police officer, who has a broken face to prove it. Imagine having your face smashed in, while sitting in your car, by a guy 2x your size, (supposedly) trying to grab your sidearm. Would you let him kick your arse and possibly grab your gun and shoot you?
When weapons are involved, escalation of force can get serious, fast.
