analysis:
Black-police crime has been at the forefront of most news today. Every month there is a new recording of another black life lost. At this point it is annoying how much some police officers completely disregard black life as being equal to that of other races. I believe the author of this articles believes that too and wants to portray that in the article. This article is relevant, not so that we can victimize police officers, but instead pay attention to their patterns and mindsets. This article can be synthesized to black slaves being punished for most things that may seem ok to us today.
