It won't and you're right, this stink goes waaaayyyy deeper than technology. The last few months have been really revealing. We've been asleep for so long and when we finally wake up, we realize that this country WANTED us asleep. The people on grand juries are no different than the people we all see and interact with every day so if this particular grand Jury found no crime, EVEN after the ME ruled it homicide, that should tell us that we've got to STOP doing the same things and expecting different results. Black Americans are an underclass and we got to make steps to become an underclass with solidarity and a clear sense of purpose for the future. I'm not putting the blame on the victims here but I think we've got to make some halftime adjustments.
