The 2013 shooting Florida A&M University student and former football player, Jonathan Ferrell, leaves open a number of questions about perceptions of Black males in America, and the haste of police to react negatively and lethally in their encounters with Black men. Were twelve (12) shots needed to subdue an unarmed man? This, and many other questions swirl and taint the events that occurred on the September 2013 night Jonathan was killed. I'm providing a link to a revealing ESPN E:60 presentation entitled "Justice for Jonathan." The link follows:

Judge the events and the aftermath of that night in Charlotte for yourself. The whole set of circumstances and events are troubling to say the least.
