Thugs in Akron shot and killed a black man who was running away from them.

He may have been a criminal — he had left a loaded gun behind in the car, and was reportedly wearing a ski mask (in June!). But he was not threatening anyone when they killed him. Perhaps he deserved to be tried and convicted — we don't know — but there were no grounds for killing him.

The article linked to just above displays symbolic bigotry by capitalizing "black" but not "white". (To avoid endorsing bigotry, capitalize both words or neither one.) I object to bigotry, and normally I will not link to articles that promote it. But I make exceptions for some articles that I consider particularly important. That article is one of the exceptions.
