I call BS on that statement. Let's see some data that show conservatives thought either Till or Martin deserved to be killed. I seriously doubt you know much about either case, just your "opinion" along with
various other assumptions.
I know, my kids used to short cut through Braddock to get home and they were pulled over by the police because they were white kids in a predominantly black area, they thought they were there to buy drugs.
So your son has at least an idea of how a young black kids walking through wealthy white areas might feel like.

I honestly did not have a problem with it, I guess they were profiling, but profiling works and the cops were just doing their job. I could almost guarantee if a white kid is in Braddock or the Hill district, there is a 99% chance they are there to buy drugs. Or if young kids are hanging out late at night, they are probably up to no good. Remember this, if you are black or white for that matter and walking/driving thru a wealthy white area and you do not belong there, you had better have a damned good reason for being there.

If i lived there, the cops or anyone else should have nothing to say!
I could care less what the average Joe thinks about me or what they write or who they like or don't like. It's the Garbage who has power who has issues with race that bothers me.
This is the "Garbage" that I stand against. Not everyone with a pulse who calls himself a law abiding citizen should be given the power to take someone life. There are too many people with racial issues and with just plain issues shouldn't have guns.
Candidates for any police department should have a proven disposition of service before considered for employment to any police department. Anything different should be looked at hard by the community as well as their potential superiors.
Allowing citizens to record police and each officer having cameras is a step in the right direction. Those who staff the police department shouldn't have a problem with that type of accountability. Neither should our elected officials.
It's a new day. People are not very tolerant of people who abuse power.
Please people, nobody cares about this case anymore. It's old news and people needs to move on.

Nobody cares about this case anymore ? You should tell that to Sybrina, Crump, the NAACP, and the media. They can't get enough of using gz's so-called racial profiling of The Child to push their policy agenda. New laws they so humbly want to name after The Child, 'Trayvon's Law,' continuing to lie about the facts.
Though the verdict is old news, the case and myths are still in full swing.

They won't be done with it until they have made as much money as they can off of it.

People have a right to be anywhere they damn well please without explaining to you why they are there.
One day just hopefully there needs to be peace and no drama, but that seems to be wishful thinking. For now, it is what it is.
