There are plenty of unjustified shootings to rally around. This isn’t one of them.

I wait for the light. I only proceed when it turns green. I don’t look both ways before proceeding. I am killed by a drunk driver running the red light.

This is definitely actionable in a civil suit, and I think the city prosecutor could find a generic charge to bring if they really wanted to.  

This issue is more about class than race. For hundreds of years, common people were buried on private land with no real paperwork or special recordkeeping. Whether the “cemetery” endured had more to do with the dedication of your relatives to maintaining it than anything else. When the land was sold, a lot of these…
