That an awful lot of folks think the deck is stacked against people like Michael BRown and your analysis never seems to take I to account potential malfeasance by the authorities

Are you ok that men if color are continually gunned down across this country under dubious circumstances and nary an officer has been made to stand trial, let alone convicted.

Were Diallo, Brown, Dorismond and Crawford entitled to the same thorough application of the law that you now claim for Wilson? Aren't they?

I am going to hazard a guess that you are White and have no clue how many people of color will look at your pronunciations of the righteousness of our justice system with the knowledge that you have no fucking clue what it looks like from our side.
