Well, one issue is that the cops are expected to make a split second decision about what the perp has in his hand as he rushes them--a bible?a sandwich? A weapon?

Well, there wasn't a prollem as far as that goes. They could clearly see that he had a Bible(or, heck--it may've been the Koran)in one hand, and a knife in the other. But, who knows--he may've been making hisself a peanut butter sammich, just as the po-lice drove up. Any of you kids know the 'zact details? Really, only the fact that One Black Life, ended by da po-lice, is all that matters. Well, isn't it?

Three nights ago there were shootings right across the street from my main iris bed. We own property there but do not rent it out because we would only be able to get low life tenants. The recent shootings put one black youth in critical condition, not sure if he will survive.

since we've owned that property these other serious crimes have taken place within one block

black teen killed by other black teens

woman strangled in alley

baby found dead in dumpster, mother charged--released on a technicality

lotsa action there.
