Musings of a Postmodern Negro
Postmodern theory that is not seeking to simply appropriate the experience of "otherness" in order to enhance its discourse or to be radically chic should not separate the "politics of difference" from the politics of racism. – bell Hooks

I am not saying that what those cops did was right. I also may not have heard the entire story correctly but didn’t he ram his car into a couple of police vehicles before they finally stopped him. They also believed that he was pulling out a weapon. 50 shots is way over the top, I agree. But it also wasn’t unwarranted shooting. The guy was behaving violently and showing aggression. Again, that’s assuming I have the story right.
This is truly an injustice. I read that his fiance, Nicole, had to get up and leave the courtroom during the verdict, shouting “50 shots is not murder?” How can something like this be made right?
