Don’t tell me I am going to have to change my opinion of the "Black Lives Matter" movement.Hammond's death was officially ruled a homicide. It followed a narrative similar to a number of officer-involved shootings that have grabbed national attention recently and included differences in police and witness account. But for nearly a week after his death, Hammond's case went largely unnoticed, both by the national media and the mostly white town of Seneca. The initial silence led many, including his family and their attorneys, to openly wonder if the shooting had been treated differently from recent police killings of black males because both Hammond and the officer are white.
After supporters of the Black Lives Matter movement began calling attention to Hammond's death on social media, the story began to attract attention from national outlets, including The New York Times, CNN and The Washington Post.
Do you know how hard it is to change my opinion at my age?
