The scary thing is that the assistant AG is trying to charge her as an adult, with a felony charge. The race part comes in when the AG has chosen not to charge a white teenager who accidentally killed someone with a gun not so long ago. Both were accidnets, just that one resulted in someone dying by illegally handling a firearm and the other was a student experimenting at school with a science project. I think what a lot of black people are thinking is what if the roles were reversed and she accidentally killed someone with a firearm?
I agree that we should try and keep this not focused on race but most people are thinking about it and it is rational to assume that it may play a part. I am amazed how much injustice passes by the public eye in the US and everyone just moves on, I blame the press for a huge part of this as they just look for the next fresh headline. A good example is right now, they are milking the Boston bombings for all they can, it is no longer about the victims, its tuned into a soap opera where we need to know what this guy ate everyday, that he liked playing FIFA wtf,when simple gun laws cannot be passed. The Newtown school shooting is not worth their time anymore. A recent injustice not reported on is the two old Latina lady's (one was 71yrs) who the cops opened fired on when they thought it was Chris dorner's truck even though it was a totally different make. The total paid to them was $40 000 for a new truck and that's it. Both these woman were struck by bullets from cops just spraying them with bullets, its amazing. Sorry for going off a tangent but this irritates me.
EDIT: It has been brought to my attention below that as of April 23rd, the LAPD will pay them a $4.2 million settlement. I am still concerned about having cops that can open fire on US citizens without warning, which amounts to an attack to kill.
