Unless I missed something (I skimmed it just now) it seems pretty reasonable.
At any rate, it reminds me of a theory I have - one that no one else seems to have come up with, though I'm not sure if the author would agree.
Which is, maybe an awful lot of white people just don't care when poor, unarmed, WHITE people get killed by the police; they figure "well, the cops MUST have had a good reason to kill them."
So they don't understand what the big deal is when unarmed black men get killed by the police.
(I mentioned that at Amy Alkon's blog and one white(?) man immediately took offense - but no one else did. As I said, if Fox News doesn't regularly have videos of white people getting killed by the police, maybe no one cares enough to film the killings, or else Fox just doesn't want to acknowledge that cops ever commit unwarranted killings - right?)
