There's additional context that people might not be aware.
He is Muslim.
The state didn't just murdered a Black man but murdered a Black Muslim man. And from the interview between Black Myths Podcast and an organizer trying to get him out, he was a devout Muslim too, serving as an imam for the Muslim inmates. This means that his jailers are also aware of his Muslim faith. Besides the US just being foundationally anti-Black, there is also an Islamophobic component to this as well, which will only intensify as the Zionist entity continues to collapse on itself.
Becoming a priest doesn't always abolish your past, but JFC how messed up do you have to be to execute one on shaky evidence? Imagine if this happened to a white preacher. Evangelicals would be foaming at the mouth at how "There's a war on Jesus and Christianity!" It would fuel their persecution complex for decades.
But since it's a black Muslim, nothing will fundamentally change. This country is completely okay with killing sections of its population, so long as they aren't straight, cishet WASPS. And even then, lol.
