        This is sad! While he was wrong he didn’t kill anyone, yet he was charged with murder. This is how a racist system works in this country. Unfortunately I’m not surprised.

        So someone else fires at police, police murder the person firing at them, and this 15-year-old who was also there but didn’t fire at anyone is the one serving 65 years for a murder committed by police? 🤔

        That’s ‘Merica for you. Before facing another death by police put it on the other most hated beings here, the black youth.

        The human brain is not fully formed until age 25. We need to start wanting to understand how the human brain works. Early adulthood is different from adulthood. We can do better.

        Did he deserve 25 yrs or 65 yrs? That's the question. And if it was 65, why the hell are they offering 25? #MEGAPHONETHAT

        So it cost him 40 years to have the trial to which anyone accused is entitled. If 25 years was enough w/o a trial, it was enough.

        I'm curious to know if he pulled the trigger at all. If so, he intended to shoot someone. He didn't hit anyone...he's lucky. A kid who smiles and gets arrogant to 65 years...what help is there for a kid like that?

        So the COP shoots and kills someone but because he was there he's gonna serve 65 years?! That's CRAZY! I'm not saying he shouldn't go to jail but 65 years and he didn't shoot or kill anyone? 🤔 Being black in Alabama I guess....
