michael bell was killed.rint testing later found no evidence that michael bell was trying to take that officer's gun or that he had ever touched it. the police did their own investigation of that incident. their conclusion was that it was a good shoot. nobody was at fault. the police cleared themselves entirely within 48 hours before the crime lab report was back. at one point one officer started screaming, he's got my gun, he's got my gun. another responded by pulling the gun to michael bell's head and pulling the trig erk point blank. michael bell was killed. dna and fingerprint testing the bell family ultimately reached a settlement for $1.75 million. michael bell's father took the settlement money and he launched a billboard campaign. and they said things like this -- when police kill, should they judge themselves? good cops, quiet majority? after years of lobbying, this past april, michael bell sr. got his law passed. when a person dies in police custody. the investigation of that death must involve at l

in response, michael bell's father decided to lobby for change. ily ultimately reached a settlement for $1.75 million. michael bell's father took the settlement money and he launched a billboard campaign. and they said things like this -- when police kill, should they judge themselves? good cops, quiet majority? after years of lobbying, this past april, michael bell sr. got his law passed. when a person dies in police custody, the investigation of that death must involve at least two investigators from outside the police department. and one of the outsiders must lead the investigation. when police kill people, it isn't handled the same way everywhere in this country. different place, different states, different cities try different reforms. they try different things to reduce the conflict inherent enforcing the law when the people in charge of law enforcement are the ones who may have broken it. in the michael brown case when the local prosecutor came in on day one of that grand jury and talked to that grand jury about what was about to happen as t

is why we still found ousts ourselves shocked when we hear or read about what happened to michael brown, shawn bell garner in. how koumd that happen? we turn to the day-to-day harshness and find a way to escape the truth that there was more to do after the marches stopped and affirmative action was put in place. no doubt, enormous strides had been made since the days plaques were water hosed for wanting an education or refused service at a lunch counter. but there still remains so much unsettled business buried beneath the surface of that relationship. and let's be honest about it. this racial dynamic may have many hues to it. but its primary colors have been and will remain black and white. black and white america is quick to place the blame on the systemic issues of poor education, unemployment militarized police drugs and a host of other ills and we are very right to do so. but we are disconcertingly uncomfortable with addressing the underlying issue of race. how race is used by whites against the black community and as an excuse by blacks for harm we often do to ourselves. we do not live in a p
