Where?

Here is another comment of mine the NY Times deleted. My online subscription will expire on Sept. 1, after which I do not expect to be posting any more comments on their website.

Editor,

Police chief Jackson keeps the entire nation waiting for 6 days for the name of the shooter.

Ferguson is occupied by snipers lying on armored vehicles; solidarity demonstrations across the USA could become riots if cops start cracking heads.

The nation is debating race, police brutality, and MRAPs on America's streets.

Finally Jackson releases . . . video of Michael Brown strong-arming a store clerk for a box of cigars. The message is obvious: this petty criminal had being gunned down coming.

There are plenty of crackers who share Jackson's point of view. That one of their ilk is chief of police in a predominantly African-American town in 2014 boggles the imagination.

It's called blaming the victim: Michael Brown and the town.

Where does the injustice begin, Chief Jackson?

With Mike's theft or with his having lived isolated by white society and despised for it?
