(15,778 posts)Trayvon was killed by a fearful and inadequate little man who was a wannabe cop. Now you have a Policemen acting out authority in a jurisdiction they do not understand, a community with years of pent up simmering hostility. As a white male I ask this question; How many unarmed white youth are shot by police? It all comes from fear and if not outward; then latent and suppressed racism I think finally some people are asking the right questions about what ill informed out of touch elected officials have turned loose on the public; inadequate poorly trained insecure police on their constituents with life or death authority and the tools to create mayhem.
Next election the 2/3 African American population in Ferguson needs to come out and vote in a City Government that responds to the needs of the community, it is obviously lacking now.
