I guess I thought a response to this question was implied in my post earlier today. I'm saying it's certainly a factor (among others) that makes his response UNDERSTANDABLE. None of us will probably really, fully, objectively understand what happened. My larger point, however, is that any version of events could lend itself to an interesting discussion on racial profiling or police protocol or neighborhood watches or any number of topics. But instead we start bickering about what the facts really are until we're tired of it, and then we move on without much insight.
