I live in Chicago, shootings happen all the time. Usually in the minority neighborhoods. It barely registers more than a few days and then on to the next event. Those that make hay from racial animus live for these events. Keeps the pot stirred and the troops fire up. As long as they are kept believing they are victims of a racists society, they are excused from the responsibility many of the rest of us take for granted.
IF this young man was involved in a robbery at a convince store just prior to his confrontation with police, it's not a stretch to reach the conclusion that if he had been playing nice in the neighborhood he would be alive today. We will have to see how this finally plays out. It SEEMS the victim has some culpability in his own demise, but that fact is lost on the looters and rioters.
