None of you people, unless you were there, know what happened. To assume that "the police did their job" is ignorant. As a traveler, myself, the police CONSTANTLY profile me and have abused their power on me multiple times in multiple locations (including shoving me on the ground for "panhandling" with FORCE; an incident that didn't even result in any charges or citations...it was simply an abuse of police power) simply because they're aware of the fact that almost all of us don't have the money or resources to afford a lawyer to actively persue legal action or defend ourselves against these acts of injustice that go on CONSTANTLY around the nation. This is just one instance you people have HEARD of...imagine the thousands of homeless kids' deaths that will never be reported that you DON'T know of and will never know of.

 The difference is this young man jwalked putting his own life in danger. Knowing if you run in front of traffic there's a chance you might get hit expecally wearing all black at night!! It's not because he's homeless or a traveler. Someone lost his life and there's two families hurting from this tragic accident. It was an accident the cops did everything right. Were you there? Were you part of it?  Didn't think so. The cops handled the situation perfect. They are investigating they did everything by protacal. It's travelers and homeless people who are always looking for trouble if you would do things by the law cops wouldn't pinpoint you. It's the guilty ones who make a bad name for the rest of the homeless community.  I'm part of the homeless community and it pisses me off about stuff like this. A young man lost his life like cherish that not make a big thing about his death how sad for both family's involved!!!
