“Nearly three weeks after an unarmed teenager was killed in a small city north of Orlando, stirring an outcry, a few indisputable facts remain: the teenager, who was black, was carrying nothing but a bag of Skittles, some money and a can of iced tea when he was shot. The neighborhood crime watch volunteer who got out of his car and shot him is white and Hispanic. He has not been arrested and is claiming self-defense.
The police in of Sanford, where the shooting took place, are not revealing details of the investigation. Late Friday night, after weeks of pressure, the police played the 911 calls in the case for the family and gave copies to the news media. On the recordings, one shot, an apparent warning or miss, is heard, followed by a voice begging or pleading, and a cry. A second shot is then heard, and the pleading stops.
‘It is so clear that this was a 17-year-old boy pleading for his life, and someone shot him in cold blood,’ said Natalie Jackson, one of the Martin family lawyers.”
The tapes are horrifying. Why isn’t anything being done about this?

What a perfect response.
SLOW CLAP.
….[W]hy the US can’t just make their own execution drugs. The answer is telling. They can, but they don’t want to. US manufacturers have done the math: profits from execution drug sales are minimal (roughly $100 in total per year); costs to reputations, incalculable. So the US prisons turn to India to exploit an open market and potentially destroy the reputation and livelihood of the companies unfortunate enough to be dragged into the trade. —
