Brandon was the fictional character representing the real life Michael Brown, was accused of stealing a cell phone from a convenient store.

What made the episode so poignant, is what happened after; Justice. The officer was arrested and punished. The world was given an apology and care was taken. Even the president offered an apology, condolences, and a hug to the father of Brandon played by Courtney B. Vance.
