There is that one frame that is probably just a fat roll and is totally invisible in the other 6+ minutes of video, but if you freeze on that one frame! It looks like it could be....

SOMETHING?

If a 28 year old black man had walked into that police station, and a white child had laid dead in that gated community, would ANY of today's argument be relevant?

And it's damned frustrating.

I know what I see with my own damned eyes, and that man didn't have a scratch on his body.

But folks see what is no doubt a shadow from a roll of skin in a brief flash, and they're ready to acquit.

IF he was still alive. Despite whatever you may been taught to believe, we do not suffer childkillers lightly, black people that is. This is the wrong board to try to race bait or flame bait. A child IS A CHILD and there is NEVER a reason to MURDER someone. Don't get it twisted, the VAST majority of my people DO NOT walk around cursing, smoking crack, living on welfare or generally acting to fit a popular stereotype.
