From Yahoo News:
A man was gravely wounded in a gun battle with police in Ferguson, Missouri on Sunday night after a day of peaceful rallies to mark the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager by a white officer one year ago. Several volleys of gunshots rang out as police in riot gear tried to disperse demonstrators blocking traffic and smashing storefront windows along a street that was a flashpoint of last year's unrest in the St. Louis suburb after Michael Brown, 18, was slain. Police later said the gunfire began with two groups of agitators apparently shooting at each other.

Anniversary commemorations had begun hours earlier with a peaceful march through the St. Louis suburb. The scene changed dramatically after dark. Dozens of protesters converged on West Florissant Avenue, which bore the brunt of last summer's rioting, and chanted: "Shut it down" in the midst of a severe thunderstorm.

Wow. Are you reading super-biased news sites or did you distort the facts yourself?
He starts "browsing" by climbing over the locked gate at 12:52 AM. That's after midnight, when car dealers are closed and everybody knows it. Climbing over the locked gate is not a generally accepted way to go browse the merchandise. WTF was he thinking, and WTF are you thinking? This is already a crime from the first moment.
Next he tries to open the door of a car that doesn't belong to him. At 1:02 AM he tries another vehicle, this time a truck. Then he goes to a third vehicle and tries to break the window. Failing that, he climbs on top and kicks in the windshield. Loudspeakers repeat "Warning!" as he continues to break into the car.
At 1:07 AM he gets into the now-damaged car. By 1:11 AM he gives up (can't start it?) and walks back to his SUV.
At 1:13 he drives through the locked gate and crashes right into the showroom. (like the Terminator)
Oh, but he "was a volunteer for church and homeless outreach" so that makes it OK? He's just a sweet nice kid?
Here is a reality check for you. This sort of behavior is absolutely 100% outrageously unacceptable. It's not some minor little misbehavior thing. It's not a silly prank. It's not OK in any way. Anybody who would do this sort of shit is a horrible horrible person.
Furthermore, you #BlackLivesMatter people discredit yourselves every time you use examples like Christian Taylor. You can't be taken seriously. Every time I bother to look up the details of one of your examples, I find that the deceased has engaged in some shockingly horrible behavior. I'll grant that probably 5% of the time the cops deserve prison, and maybe another 30% of the time deserve to be fired, but in no way are the supposed "victims" deserving of life in civilized society.
