[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1461406, member: 14668"] I will not deny that the legacy of institutionalized racism continues to this day. I will not deny the racial disparity in the Ferguson police department, or the fact that the legal system continues to prosecute and incarcerate young men of color at a rate far beyond the rate for whites. However.... [I]None[/I] of these issues had anything to do with the guilt or innocence of Officer Wilson in the shooting of Michael Brown, and [I]a murder trial against Wilson is not the appropriate venue to address these issues[/I]. A murder trial is about the guilt or innocence of [I]one man[/I], not an entire system or society. And it is wrong to prosecute someone for a crime when there is no hope of obtaining a conviction simply to make a political statement. [/QUOTE]
