Wil's Rant

L.A. Police have shot and killed a 13 year old black boy. Suffice to say that the situation has become a little tense. The problem with this story is the fact that we are getting very few relevant pieces of information with which to assess this story. There are several factors which may make a great deal of difference in this story. One such factor might be the question of whether the car was stolen or not. Another might be whether the car was being driven at the officers car. They usually call that attempted murder. What is interesting is the fact that after 5 days we are still not getting these details. That suggests error on the police part. If in fact the police were acting within reason, why haven't these details been made known. One might think the police would want to release this information before ignorance starts another riot. Of course, if this does turn out to be a case of police wrongdoing, then there may be no stopping the unrest to come.
