Fruitvale Station‘s leading actors Octavia Spencer and Michael B. Jordan cover JET!
Jordan, disclosed his impression of the media’s criminalization of Oscar Grant:

On the contrast between the media’s treatment of Adam Lanza, Octavia noted:
When Adam Lanza went into Sandy Hook Elementary School and killed those children, news outlets painted him with empathy… They don’t do that when dealing with a young man of color— even if they are killed for no reason.
