Governor Deval Patrick on Thursday questioned the reaction by Florida law enforcement to the shooting of Trayvon Martin, an African American teenager whose death last month has exploded into a national debate about racial profiling and self-defense laws. Describing a “sad, murky’’ set of facts surrounding the shooting, Patrick, the nation’s only black governor, praised the Obama administration’s Department of Justice for investigating the shooting.

It's amazing how many folks have opinions on this case when the results of the police invesyigation, let alone the DOJ investigation, have not yet been announced. The Governor would be better served to wait for the facts, rather than contributing to the uninformed emotional uproar.
