I may be mistaken regarding the details of those three incidents, but none of them received the Death Penalty. The Death Penalty is handed down by a judge in accordance after a jury convicts them of breaking the law.

That was my point...
If I remember correctly, that was not the case for them. I'm not sure about the first two, but in Martin's case, didn't he attack someone with a gun? The security guy? Didn't the other two not comply with an officer's orders? If that's the case.....?

Your memory is faulty. Trayvon Martin didn't have a gun to attack anyone with. He was walking home.
Sandra Bland refused to put out a cigarette in her own car, which, as far as I know, no law permits the police to demand in response to a traffic violation.
As for Michael Brown, it was more than just failure to comply with an officer's order, but again, I don't know of anything there that qualifies for a death penalty, and certainly, that makes no sense in a situation where there was no court involved in the decision.
In all three cases, especially with Bland and Martin, their own actions did not cause their deaths.

It's been going on for years. Look at Tawana Brawley or Duke, where the accused really were innocent *NM*

Trayvon Martin did nothing except walk through a wealthy white neighborhood while being black.
