Mother says she wants justice after teen son is killed during police chase in Mississippi

A mother says she wants justice for her 17-year-old son who died when a police SUV ran over him in the small Mississippi Delta town where he lived.

Kadarius Smith and one of his cousins were out walking March 21 when a Leland Police Department vehicle chased them and fatally struck Smith, said his mother, Kaychia Calvert. He died later at a hospital.

“He still had his whole life ahead of him,” Calvert told The Associated Press. “They just took his life away from him.”

Police referred all questions to Josh Bogen, attorney for the city, and he said officers were responding to a call about an assault in progress. He could not confirm if Smith was a suspect.

Victim was black.

One of the officers was black.

This information offered in the story like this as if it’s a tick box to avoid “it was racially motivated or part of systemic racism”

I’d like to offer everyone the following ideas. Beyond that mention it doesn’t seem like the story had any relevance to their race. Black people are not inherently immune to being swayed by institutionalized and societal racism, so a black officer being present doesn’t “untick the box”

Just such a weird way for them to bring race into it, and the way it was handled almost feels worse than what they may have been trying to counteract with the mention.
