You want a local example? How about Teressa Raiford, a media favorite. Everything is about race with her. When her nephew, Andre Dupree Payton, was shot dead at 2 a.m. on a Northwest Portland street, she blamed it on “neglect” by Portland Public Schools. (Witnesses said he was killed by young, black males.)

Perhaps she was disappointed that police didn't shoot him. Attorneys would have been standing by.
