Michael appeared holding a chrome Lorcin .380, a cheap pistol prone to malfunction. An older friend, Devonn, a member of the Rollin 60s Crips, was apparently on lookout, but not visible to Smith as he worked in his car. (Both names have been changed.) Michael approached Smith, told him not to move, and demanded his watch. Smith handed it over.
Yes, he robbed someone at gunpoint, but with a pistol that was cheap and prone to malfunction! What's the big deal?
A police officer accompanying Michael in the ambulance reported that, “during transport, Allen made a spontaneous statement that he was robbing a man when he got shot.” At the hospital, Michael was read his Miranda rights and additional juvenile admonishments in the presence of a second officer. According to the police report, he waived his rights and said again that he had tried to rob the man, using a gun that he claimed he had found about two and a half weeks earlier. He also confessed that he had robbed three people during the previous two days on the same block, and that he had robbed someone a week earlier, about ten blocks away. The police had no reports for two of the four robberies he confessed to; in the two that had been reported, Michael had taken twenty dollars from one victim and two dollars from another. In other words, on his way to the hospital, and upon admission, with no adults present other than the officers, a wounded fifteen-year-old talked a blue streak.
Seeing as every crime gets dutifully reported (particularly by African Americans), obviously the racist police forced him to confess to crimes that he not only didn't commit, but that never even happened!
Given just how much violent crime blacks commit[1], and how disproportionately they commit it against whites[2], and how eager other blacks, like the author, are to excuse it, it's little wonder whites don't want to live with them.
