Or charges weren't pressed for various reasons. You are not allowed to impede pedestrians on a sidewalk or block store entrances. It sounds like the store owners called in a complaint. Are you this obtuse in real life?
The african american community of Rochester has been all over this. They live there and understand the situation better. So does the white school board member who explicitly mentioned race as being the issue. I would say they are in a better position than people living thousands of miles away to understand the situation. Everyone is, however, entitled to their own opinion.
Ok. So you actually believe the only thing going on here is that these kids were arrested for "being black and going to school". Those are the pure facts with nothing else added. (Why aren't the cops standing in front of schools arresting black kids on their way in and out? That would be easier.)
There is nothing else to say really. I can't make myself any clearer.

When you're black, you might be taken off the street by police and booked on bogus charges, be made to stand in front of a judge, be declared innocent yet some folks will still say "oh they were probably guilty of something anyway". It is...how did you say ? Fascinating.

What was the race(s) of the players who were not arrested/detained? If they're White, you have an issue. If they're Black, hmmm, maybe the three who were arrested actually did something that warranted it. If a mix, same thing.
I bet there is more to it than that. Its like the Trayvon Martin story. He was not on his way home from choir practice when GZ attacked him from the bushes. He was beating GZs head into the concrete , I bet there is a lot more to the story and its the usual suspects who want to attack anyone who calls out bad behavior by blacks.

This thread is not about GZ. But since you bring him up, Zimmerman's deplorable and alleged criminal behavior since his acquittal has shown what kind of man this guy is.
It's funny how this type of event consistently happens to minorities while they are shopping, driving, walking, sleeping, just trying to go on about their daily lives.
It happens to "non-minorities, too, but that doesn't get much media attention.
You have jumped to an irrational conclusion based on biased perceptions.
