13166987, "How you like them apples?" is gloating.

With a minor retooling of the facts, you are showing the capacity to accept the logic of our oppressors. That is, the same way that white folks believe Freddie Gray may have had it coming because he was a drug dealer or Eric Garner for not complying, you accept the idea that Otto had it coming because he had the audacity to go to NK. Definitely not a smart decision, but it shouldn't have cost him his life.

Notice you had to use the analogy of comparing this to cops getting off for killing a white kid to avoid the more obvious and direct comparision, which is... the (NK) police killing a kid. This isn't a story about cops getting off, this is a story about the state killing a kid.

I'm trying to defend ideals that should be applied in this case if we expect them to applied in the defense of black people.

Or not comply when the police are around... Same stinkin thinkin.
