These guys go looking for random black murders post them then try telling us how much we should care. I worked most of my life on things affecting blacks while these guys were getting older and more racist. Mike is using the death of this child in a sick way. He opposes things that would have stopped the killing.I don't know how you can say "the facts are" - You do not know these people on a person level and have no idea of the feelings and emotions they experience when someone black is killed. Black people in my church and community grieve and mourn together, pray together and have a deep shared sense of loss each time they hear of another death.
In this country, black folks were lynched and nobody knew their name, black folks were burned to death in their homes and nobody knew their name, escaping slaves were hunted down by the police force that was created to return them to their masters or kill them and nobody knew their name. I tire, as do my black neighbors and friends, of seeing videos of blacks being killed, but at least now we and everyone else CAN see, CAN know their names, and hopefully CAN honor them by saying those names out loud.
Just my perspective.
