I don't bat an eye when druggies kill each other, I don't give a fuck. This story is different and can't be compared to street thugs & their murdering ways.
This is my point. All the kids who are killed every-fucking-day are not druggies. They are people going somewhere or on their way home from somewhere or just standing around...
Putting one tragedy in the spotlight, and getting off our collective asses to change it, is Maytee-like behavior.
I think what is fundamentally different about this story is the appearance of institutional racism or abuse of power from those entrusted to protect. That's a totally different animal than someone getting shot by a drive-by shooting.
