while this may be more true than some of us would like to think:
"...very real impact of the issue of race relations into it as well as national politics with this being an election year...."
it has nothing to do with the eyes of justice.
I get increasingly concerned when the real issues of life and death are measured by public opinion or race or politics instead of the courts.
Even the if then statements like if aquitted, then unrest/etc.
We have gone so many years without having to watch what is said and done by whom, about what or how they said it or who did what.
I am glad I came through life when I did with most all of it satisfied by measuring what somebody did/said/didn't do or say against RIGHT OR WRONG.
I think America was stronger for it.
Today's insatiable need to satisfy special interest groups, minority groups (including race), and just about anybody who raised their hand for just about anything they don't like have watered America's values to a point where there is no clear distinction between right and wrong....just what makes the one's with their hand up happy. Or if you happen to be a politician make those who would vote for you happy....RIGHT or WRONG.
We may have advanced with all the new technology of the day. But the real core values continue their steady decline.....driven by the special interest groups and minorities (race included)....while the majority gets dragged down in quality of life as a result.
In my very humble opinion.
