All they saw was black when they looked into the car and all the negative stereotypes that go along with being black. They didn't see a brother, son, college student,or baby being held in his mama's arms. They didn't see a child with a name-DJ Henry. They saw black, maybe gang banger, maybe drug dealer, maybe fugitive, maybe cop killer.
As a result of only seeing black they shot him, and killed him. They shot him and killed him for being a black man in a town with white policemen. I don't know this family but, I know I have a son who has the same skin color as DJ Henry, and he too will go to college, maybe play football, maybe their paths would have crossed as mentor/ student. Regardless, this young man's life is over because of a policeman who only saw black.
