Last Tuesday, Robert Bates, a 73-year-old white man who is a
reserve deputy sheriff, turned himself in to law enforcement

manslaughter in the shooting death of Eric Harris, an unarmed black
man. Bates claims he accidentally shot Harris during an undercover
operation, thinking his gun was his Taser.  To many
African-Americans, Harris’ death is another violent episode in an
American narrative of white cops versus black men.
