In the cases you mention we do not know who did the shooting---you make the assumption that it was black on black violence. I live in Detroit, and we have plenty of black on black violence, and as in the cases you identified, ". Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call the Police Department’s major case unit".

The Martin case is entirely different. A white gun totting whanna be vigilante (I'm sorry that is all these neighborhood watch folks are) guns down an unarmed teenager, and the legal/law enforcement establishment says, "don't worry folks it was all self-defense". Trying to equate the protection this murderer is now receiving with the numerous unsolved black on black crimes is simply ludicrous.
