Front page, top of the fold, bold print on today's paper is "little comment?"Hmmm, it's interesting how there was so much criticism of Black leadership surrounding David Jennings and the validity of the position taken by members of the Black community.
BUT ...
There has been little comment about the two incidences of sodomization of Black men while under police custody and the shooting death of another young man by MPD.

Or did you mean on this, list, where the Jennings story has been on-going for weeks, and the _alleged_ sodomization of two black men is recent news? Until you claimed both men were black just now, I had no knowledge what color their skin was. I suspect that was true for a number of other readers, as well.
Playing the race card the moment anyone fails to conform to your expectations is no way to "win friends and influence people."
P.S. Which neighborhood in Minneapolis is "Old Highlind?" It is not on any map I can find, including the city's official list of neighborhoods.
