Reader angry over obnoxious letter concerning shooting
By NINA MARTINEZ | Apr. 11, 2010I’d like to congratulate Chase Adler, author of the incredibly juvenile and insensitive letter to the editor this past Friday, for submitting the most idiotic note I have seen at my time at UF. We apologize that this whole hoopla over Kofi is “tiring” you. It must be hard to sit around all day and read about the obnoxious details of an innocent man’s inhumane treatment at the hands of an officer with a track record of racist acts. It’s apathy like yours and an unwillingness to gain insight on the facts (for one, a mental health crisis does not call for five armed police officers, but rather a trained professional who can properly assist in the situation) that perpetuates and enables crimes such as police brutality. Rather than make a sweeping claim that “There is no such thing as police brutality,” take off your stupid college kid blinders and attempt to really educate yourself on the case and the realities that others who are not so privileged as yourself face.
