This article immediately upset me I don't think that the police had any reason to drop the idea of a hate crime, and pursue other options around his death. I think that especially with the light that incidents like Ferguson, and Baltimore have shed on the white american population. Lynchings can be prevalent all over the U.S. and not just in the south, but i do think that lynchings are more likely to take place in the south. I think the other thing to look into is the reason why they determined its not a hate crime I think we should  look into the cops that declared it not a hate crime, I don't think any officer has the right to be believed fully at this time.

This video shows the violent, disgusting acts of everyday “police officers”, people here to help us and our loved ones. We see 2 white women accusing this woman of damaging her car when no damage was done and the officer confirms that, but then he, a white male, proceeds to harass this woman when she refuses to give the man her name, she has every right not to give the man her name because she did nothing wrong. What is even more disgusting about this man's actions is that he endangered TWO lives the woman's and her unborn baby that was very close to birth. This video is a cruel reminder of the corruption and vile nature of the white police force.
