Suppose you don't think Mumia is either identical to or representative of "other black victims of the police"? There's no doubt that neither Amadou Diallo or Patrick Dorismond never shot a cop. Unlike most death row residents, Mumia has had excellent legal representation and an international campaign to free him.
