I'm sorry but that's complete and utter bollocks. Racism and discrimination revolves around everyone whilst prejudice thinking lives inside everyone and if you can find one person that denies that i'll find one person that's a liar. Whether it's black, asain, arab, latino, white, or indian, we all contain stereotypes among ourselves and all of us have dealt with situations where we have been discriminated against and judged not by our character but instead our culture or the color of our skin. It's a sad tragedy but the facts are there, he was selling drugs illegally and was warranted for an arrest and he was resisting an arrest, race had absolutely nothing to do with it. The man would not cooperate with the authorities and If i'm correct cops have the ability to sustain any suspect if particular actions or situations create events to go out of their control. I don't know about this chokehold law enforced against police and the other policies, but they were restraining the suspect who would not cooperate with them, it was manslaughter as there was no intent of killing him. The fact they are making this a whole 'race issue' is a bit going off the top for me as well.
