A Third Crime
December 16, 2014 - by
The talk shows and newspapers were full of stories last weekend about riots and protests about white policemen killing young black men – people opined about our country’s ‘systematic racial problems’ and how Michael Brown was killed for stealing a box of cigars and Eric Garner died for selling tax free cigarettes on the street but no one mentioned a third crime.
Cigars and cigarettes didn’t trigger the violence that led to Michael Brown and Eric Garner’s deaths – their unfortunate decisions to resist arrest did.
That was the crime that brought mayhem in its wake and it’s the crime no one mentioned.
