This guy should not have been using a gun to patrol his neigborhood, and when he reported it, they told him not to follow. He is the one who did not do what the police told him to do. Even if, Trayvon fought him, he probably was scared for his life. I wouldn't feel any better if Trayvon had been killed with a bully club. |
I used to teach at an intercity high school.. 8 years. I saw a lot of wonderful great kids get arrested because of profiling- parents had to fight for them as well as their teachers. Made me so mad.
I think white on black causes more hatred and outcry if it included a "power" figure.. such as police, crime watch and such. Maybe it is the feeling of helpness that someone who should be protecting us does the crime. On the otherhand there have been riots/protest when a known drug dealer is killed by police.. I think the anger is as I said before the "power" figure.
So my point is: YES there is a problem in the USA.. it has many sides and
all groups are guilty. Is there a solution? IDK
