[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 2777268, member: 7629"] Why unarmed teen killed by police over a few grams of pot hasn't led to national protests [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/images.csmonitor.com_csm_2015_08_927103_1_0806_south_carolina_7c0ee1b1c9ed4455186273261af4145a.jpg[/IMG] The death of Zachary Hammond, a white South Carolina teen shot by police, hasn't led to widespread outrage. But it's more complicated than just a matter of race, analysts say. August 6, 2015 Zachary Hammond was on a first date with a girl on July 26 in Seneca, S.C., when they stopped at a Hardee’s parking lot in his car. Police said they suspected the girl of selling marijuana and set up a sting operation to try and catch her in the act. When confronted with law enforcement, Mr. Hammond attempted to flee and a police officer shot him twice. In the end, Hammond had been killed and his companion was charged with a minor drug possession. The death of Hammond, who was 19, bears some strikingly similarities to the death of Samuel DuBose, a Cincinnati man who was shot by a police officer on July 19. In both cases, the two men were unarmed and the official police record that said the suspects attempted to run officers over has been called into question by conflicting sources. The difference in media attention thus far, however, is notable.
