First and foremost — these kids didn't do anything wrong. And it's unclear if the young man involved in the earlier fight actually had a gun at all. Eyewitnesses are notoriously unreliable. Whatever the case, these five kids weren't in that fight and were completely unarmed. To force all of them into a terrifying situation based on one unconfirmed report is a uniquely black experience. If such incidents happen in white communities, where elementary- and middle school-aged boys walking home from the park get swarmed by police at gunpoint, I've never heard about them. But this happens to black folk in America every single day.
