"The death of 13-year-old Devin Brown, who was shot by police after driving a stolen car into a police car, galled black residents who saw the killing as the latest example of Police Department abuse."
In California, a car is leagally considered a deadly weapon when one person attempts to kill another with one. So, after commiting grand theft AND attemped murder of a law officer, black residents ar "galled" the Police Departments response. Certain neighborhood should simply not be policed so certain communities are not offended.
You nailed it !
It is hard to get off the plantation when the slaves run the joint.
The police in Cincinati on an individual basis cut back policing the black neighborhoods by avoiding known problem areas. That way they do not have to deal with suspects, and be vulnerable to the neighborhood residents and police brutality charges. Shootings soared. The cops will arrive after the fact, take a report and haul the body away. Within a month, the black community leaders were brought to their knees.
Wasn't the cop outside his patrol car when the kid tried to run him over?
