I don't know the circumstances surrounding this incident. Your reporting - rather weak by my standards - makes it sound like a guy comes out of a strip club, gets in his car to drive home, and the police shot him 50 times. Can I get some details on that? What initiated the confrontation? Was the victim intoxicated? Was there an exchange between the police and the victim? What was the cause of the police feeling threatened by the victim's car? Did he try to run them down? Who are the witnesses?
I am not discounting police brutality or racism. But, if the police really did shoot him without provocation, why hasn't the DA filed charges? What is the position of the police and the DA on the incident?
There has to be more to the story than what I have heard on the news networks and in the news papers. Certainly, there is more than what you reported in your "fluff" piece.
