Martin Vs. King

Earlier I post about Trayvon Martin a 17 year old young man innocently gunned down by a man who was completely in the wrong. I also discussed the Rodney King and the LA RIOTS. Comparing both of these cases I feel is very important to understand today's justice system and how it desperately needs to be reevaluated.

This blog is meant to question morality- the conformity to the rules of right conduct; moral  or virtuous conduct. Also moral  quality or character.


So now understanding the definition of morality can someone explain how 3 police officers can be fired and charged for beating a criminal to roughly; who had lead them on a high speed chase and refused to surrender when apprehended, while a neighborhood watch president who apparently was self appoint can nearly get away with murdering an innocent teenager?

A police officer beating someone to place them under arrest VS. a random guy killing an innocent child because he's looking for trouble? 

Its seems to me that in order to make a change people cant passively stand by and peacefully fight for change, because the world just push them over. Its ashame that people have to act like idiots to be heard but it seems like its the only way they can be heard in a timely matter. The Rodney King incident lasted 1 months and 26 days from the beating to the conviction of the police officers. Its already been more than 2 months on the Trayvon Martin case....
