watched “the central park five,” an excellent documentary by ken burns. it’s heartbreaking and infuriating but, unfortunately, the institutional racism it exposes is not that shocking. the NYPD, the criminal justice system, the media, the politicians, and the public were all complicit in destroying the lives of five kids. it’s disgusting that the lawsuit filed by the 5 victims against the city of new york remains unresolved to this day.
