Doesn't matter if Brown's hands were up or not

The folks who say this are wrong.  Every case is different, yet these people are trying to reduce it all down to the same thing.  Hence, there are those who can say:

"This is not about one boy getting shot in the street, but about the hundreds just like him who have received the same callous and racially-influenced treatment," said Oakland, California, protester Gabe Johnson, a middle school teacher. "So ultimately, no, it doesn't matter at all if somehow we can say for sure whether this one young man really said these words or had his hands up."

It matters to the guilt or innocence of the police officer.  This is one police officer and one suspect.  That's all it is.  It isn't the typical encounter of white v black  regardless of how much these people want to see it that way.  It isn't justice to wrongfully treat the officer any more than it is justice to wrongfully treat Brown, if such were the case.  If it wasn't the case, treating Wilson guilty just because he was a white police officer isn't exactly justice either.  As a matter of fact, it is a downright injustice.  Therefore, it definitely should matter if he was raising his hands or not.
