Attorney Benjamin Crump talks about the new Trayvon Martins, a brutal death and the fears for all black sons.
Benjamin Crump, the attorney for Trayvon Martin's family, has become a new face in the fight for the equal treatment (under the law) of black and brown boys. Just months after a demoralizing verdict in George Zimmerman's second-degree-murder trial, which saw Trayvon's killer walk free, Crump is engaged in two new cases.
First, the case of Leon Ford Jr. -- a teenager at the time of the incident -- involves a far too common occurrence of unexplained police brutality. The second case takes on the violent death of 17-year-old Kendrick Johnson and what Crump claims can only be described as a real-life murder mystery.
In Ford's case, police shot the young man multiple times during a routine traffic stop. In a strange twist, Ford now faces a 20-year prison sentence, although the officers -- who may have lied and falsified facts of the case -- do not face charges.
As Janell Ross wrote for The Root this week, "Whether Ford should have been stopped, what happened when Pittsburgh police officers approached Ford's car, what Ford and the three officers said and did, even the order of events -- is disputed. But this much is not: Ford, 19 at the time of the incident and unarmed, was shot multiple times and left paralyzed below his waist."(continued)

I stopped after 2 sentences.
Maybe there is something nefarious with these cases. But the race hustlers and their assorted band of enablers have finally made me not give a damn.
It’s so sad when a young African American male can’t sucker punch a total stranger, pound his victim’s head repeatedly against concrete, and not get shot. Something needs to be done about this.
Also Whites by reason of feral Blacks!
Zimmerman was not violent in this encounter. Only when facing a loss of consciousness after repeated blows to the head did he see to use his weapon.
Stop pretending that Trayvon was totally innocent in this matter. Not True.
...Then I would agree. Black boys are not safe on OUR streets and they will be hauled away as the garbage they are.
Sorry...but that's my opinion and I'm sick of this crap already.
I can shofw a much worse set of numbers if you really want to go there but you wouldn’t like it because it wouldn’t fit your agenda. It would also be the truth not some manufactured nonsense spun to get knee-jerk reactions from low-Info voters
There. Fixed it.
More Black Ku Klux Klan nonsense
Instead of disarming whites...time for blacks to grow up and take responsibility
Black boys are MAKING our streets unsafe. Obviously.
Hmmm... Competition for Je$$ie and Rev Al?
Those who act like animals are usually treated accordingly.
They aren’t safe because of other blacks.
The headline is true. The danger is from other blacks.
Nothing like hiring a failed lawyer to take your case.
if the grownups and good citizens of the black community don't wake up and discipline their children, their children will be in reform school and prison for their entire youths, is not longer...
Actually the poster did not comment so there is no indication of an ‘agenda’. An exposure of black racist denial may be as likely a rationale for the post as support of the poverty pimping basis for this article.
Damn right. In fact they're a bunch of murdering bastards.
This guy is a friggin’ idiot. Absolutely refuse to read his tripe.
