TM robbed houses in the neighborhood? Has this been brought out in the trial yet? Have the arrest records for these break ins been put into evidence? Or, is it just because TM is black and acts like a criminal, he must be a criminal?
I take it from that comment that you haven't watched the video yet. Watch it and then comment on it since it is the subject of this thread.
I think he very well may have, but the po po (as you put it) wouldn't investigate with that possibility in mind, so we'll never know. But your assertion St. Skittles is innocent because nobody ever proved it is pretty obtuse.
Now, why would an earnest seeker of truth put the observation of skin color in there?
The "acts like a criminal" part is relevant. After all - that is exactly what Neighborhood watch is supposed to look for: suspicious activity.
The color of a suspicious acting person's skin is irrelevant.
