But in todays political climate it is definitely a "political power" thing. The republicans have taken this country back 50 years no doubt about it...I am a white woman and I also am poor...so to me it's more of the haves and the have nots. Power corrupts, and I have seen just as many corrupt black cops as white ones. They are both wrong.

but it's also a credibility thing. No one can blame a jury for not understanding what the reality may be, as was the case in the high profile California cases, because the judge fully knew the parameters of everything, and, unfortunately, the credibility of the witnesses came up as an issue. The background of witnesses isn't always a sign that someone isn't credible, but when three witnesses are all telling different stories, that's about as much reasonable doubt as there is. That, plus one of the detectives was black.

I don't think this has anything to do with whether Obama can or cannot get elected as a president in this country. There may be other factors down the road, but this one stands on its own. I wasn't surprised when I heard the verdict; maybe that's a shame instead.
