Yup. But what else would explain why no charges were pressed until it became a national issue?
The race baiters would have you believe that it was because everyone is out to get the innocent black man, and that whites hate African Americans. So they had to manufacture a racist white man that was out to get young unarmed black men. It doesn't matter to them that they got most of the info wrong. It is time for reparations and vengeance.
