Comment on a colleague's work

Lilian Ordonez wrote an informative commentary on her blog “Long Live Texas” about the Tulia Texas video showed in our Texas Government class. I think she did a really nice job. Lilian started of by expressing her feeling in regard to the video and then gave a brief summary of the video. Her concise summery was an essential part of her commentary. It provided the necessary information for readers, even those who might not have seen the video.

I felt the same way when watched the video. How can any human being accuse somebody else of a crime that he did not commit? What Coleman did could have destroyed many lives, not only the incarcerated many, but their family and children were affected by his accusation. The scariest thing is that those forty people arrested by Coleman could have been still in prison if not for the commentary and the public interest. 

I agree with Lilian’s statement that the undercover policeman actions were clearly racism. The proof was actually presented in the BBC video. How come out of the 43 arrest, 42 were minorities? The lack of evidence was another proof to revisit the whole case and the Coleman’s statement and background.
