sigh This kind of ignorant discrimination goes on a lot in Japan too. A small percentage of ethnically Japanese people do NOT have black hair, but it is very much a standard. Some schools make kids dye it!
For me it’s only my moustache area. It’s funny trimming my beard and seeing the color change. Everyone jokes with my uncle that he’s adopted, as the only red head in the family, but there’s clearly some ginger genes in there
Systemic issues. The problem is that the jury is probably correct that under current Louisiana laws this pig did nothing wrong technically. We all know it’s fucked up but we’ve allowed our laws to be shaped by the people who abuse them.
Whether he broke the law or not is completely irrelevant. 9 times out of 10, a jury in Louisiana is going to be composed of white racists who will always side with a white cop, because that’s the primary demographic of the state.
For starters, let’s be clear: Jacob Brown committed battery, a violation of Louisiana state law. This case is about an alleged violation of Federal law and simply isn’t a battery case. That means it’s not as cut and dry as “we have this guy on video committing battery with a flashlight, of course he’s guilty”.
So if you want to claim this case is open and shut or cut and dry, you need to point to some element of that law Jacob violated and then explain how it’s so obvious he violated that element.
My first guess, and to be clear, I am speculating, is that they tried to prove Jacob battered Aaron because Aaron was black. That means proving beyond a reasonable doubt that Jacob doesn’t simply beat everyone up, which is very difficult to prove, especially since so many cops genuinely do simply beat everyone up.
