Punch Bowl Re-Filler
Is there still hope or is the USA hopelessly abominable?
Didn't expect HighlandHomie to post this. And, of course, it will get scant discussion by the AA community since it does not fit into their dialogue of a racist USA.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (Reuters) - "A white former police chief in Eutawville, South Carolina, has been indicted on a murder charge in the 2011 shooting death of an unarmed black man he was trying to arrest, according to records released on Thursday.
The indictment of ex-chief Richard Combs came on Wednesday, the Orangeburg County Clerk of Court said, on the heels of decisions by grand juries in New York City and Missouri not to indict white police officers involved in deaths of unarmed black men this year.
Combs fatally shot Eutawville resident Bernard Bailey, 54, in the town hall parking lot in May 2011 after they argued and scuffled over a traffic ticket previously issued to Bailey's daughter.
Combs had already been indicted in August 2013 in connection with the shooting on a misconduct in office charge, with a grand jury finding that his use of deadly force was unjustified, according to court records."
Interesting that he had already been indicted on a different charge back in August. I don't think that garnered much media attention, though.
