Justifying actions and charges
I don't think you can justify his actions; however, I think it is explainable. The ghetto environment is very stereotypical, and known for its criminality, so brings out fear. Starr's uncle also explained, that if he saw a black man raise something in that situation, he would have done the same. I understand how they are more cautious, but still, it’s in no way something that you can justify.
