a disturbing new level. How does a black parent advise or protect their kid when being in what was once thought of as the safety of your own home can also get you killed for no reason?

I don't get why his mom struggled to understand why he was careful, as a black woman. Other than that, sorry for her loss.

There us only one way to fix this. It's by regular people running for office and injecting humanity back into the system.

Honestly, I think that this particular shooting didn't have must to do with race. It mostly just illustrates how police in the US are trained to "shoot first, shoot later, shoot some more and then when everybody's dead try to ask a question or two." (Will Smith, Wild Wild West)

But this DOES link back to race indirectly as people as conditioned to see black people as older, bigger and more dangerous than they are and some PDs explicitly train their officers on that standard.

As the white father of a mixed-race son I've had that talk. Heartbreaking to explain that the breaks cops gave me as a kid he'd be unlikely to get.

Seems to miss the larger potential threat in the community that kill way more, ie the criminals and community gangs!
