I just finished reading an article in The Daily News about a black man who was killed hours before his wedding by NYPD police officers. What was specifically interesting about the article was that it never really confirmed any details about the shooting. As I write this, I'm still pretty much assuming that it was accident because there was no mention of the "usual" details that lead to minority shootings: drugs, robbery, theft, ect. However, this article, in many ways, let the police off the hook. The picture that went along with the article was also especially heartbreaking with the man's 3-year-old daughter sobbing the loss of her Father. Why wasn't their more depth with this article? Why were 50 stray bullets flying in the direction of this man? Who were they in pursuit of? The lack of details in this story amazes me.
