In preparing and maintaining this study the LA Times performs a great service to the community. Not only providing detail on individual cases but also providing 20 years of data.

In a time of great social stress it provides great insight into the awful toll that murder takes on minority communities. While African Americans are about 9% of the population they were 33% of the homicide victims during the last 12 months. But another statistic also stands out over the past year and the past 20 years, a homicide involving a black is LESS likely to have police involvement that a homicide involving a white victim.

Tragically and African American is 9 times more likely to be homicide victim in LA county than a white resident. It is this number which we need to reduce if Black Lives are to really matter.

Hopefully the Times reporters would be made more aware of these facts.

Besides God, You were my everything. My soul mate, best friend, My Rock! From the first date we had, I knew you were something special. Over the years, you proved that to me. I wanna thank you for loving me the way you did. You showed me new things that I couldn't experience on my own. The bond we had was unbreakable and no matter who says what, It still is. You were my J and always will be. As for our daughter, I have pictures, videos, and a lot of memories to share with her. It saddens me that she will never know how silly and loving her daddy really was. Thank you for leaving me a part of you. Justice will be served for you. Not only that, we served a good God together. I know he's got you. To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord. Rest well baby. I hope that when its my time, you will be right there waiting for me. Until then watch over our family. The boys love and misses you as well. Love always, your T
