have constitutional protections other have them on paper, that's all. "regardless of race"...right. White police have the rights to kill and murder indiscriminately and most walk. Minority youth have it pretty damn bad already in our so called fair and balanced justice system. That's why the prisons are overflowing with black males put in prison for charges that whites get a slap on the wrist for. Please. You're still blowing smoke. The rights to fair and balanced justice is not applied in this country equally and you should know that. But maybe not because you don't want to. Wilson is a state sanctioned executioner. Period. Like I said counselor, I rest my case, you win.

And I don't care if people disagree with my judgement one whit, especially you. I am just not going to roll over because of your experience in law. Means nothing to me. Wilson is a murderer.
