I guess all these young lads are innocent. If they truly are innocent, then there is certainly a problem with the legal system, but they aren't all innocent, now are they?
Somewhere along the way the black community lost it's way, and I'm not talking about slavery. This happened between 1965 and 1984 or so. Focus on that time, investigate what polices and procedures were put into place, how those policies were carried out, and you'll find the answer to the problem that exists today. Coincidently, or maybe not, this is about the same time the country lost it's way.
The black community is certainly paying a heavier toll than the rest of us, but make no mistake, the entire country is paying a price for this well thought out crime being perpetrated upon us by our very own government and their corporate masters.
Any guesses?
