I WISH my Black & Brown teenage clients were granted the same consideration before their names & photos were plastered all over the front pages of newspapers.

Or that people even took the time to write what they thought were "deep & important" twitter threads about it.
Like, ugh, who is the dude who wrote this self-righteous thread? In his bio he said the @nytimes once described him as an internet hero & he asks you to follow him & he thinks it's up to him whether this racist person is identified like he is this country's conscience. Damn.
And for anyone, like the person below, who would argue this is not a fair comparison because my clients are charged with crimes & these students aren't, these students' conduct is criminal & they could (& many would argue should) be charged with crimes.
The crimes with which the young men could be charged are also much more serious than most with which my clients are charged that land them in the newspapers - petty theft etc.
And my clients' names & photos get plastered in the press w/o this sort of evidence when they're merely suspected of a crime, not even arrested, so they're not afforded any presumption of innocence. Too bad when their cases are dismissed or they're acquitted after trial.
