Young unarmed black man fatally shot by white officer in Brooklyn

And he wasn't even reaching for his wallet. 19-year-old Timothy Stansbury, Jr's fatal mistake? Opening a door (that had two patrolling police officers behind it, see story). The question of course being: would the officer have reacted the same way had Timothy been white? It seems unlikely, to say the least. More on this later, I can't seem to find many articles or editorials on it yet.

Now, not that I like Mayor Bloomberg or anything, and not that any amount of condolences will bring this boy back, but I gotta say it's not a bad thing that he isn't Giuliani (who as you may recall, was fond of blaming unarmed shooting victims such as Patrick Dorismond for their own deaths). Sigh...
