Our male, black, youth are being killed. Whether these police are prejudice or on a power-trip, innocent lives are being lost.
The ignorance involved in this situation, though is ridiculous. Black folks are cursing and disrespecting the names of the police... The police officers in my opinion should have been indited.
But, we are proving the stereotype of black people; we are uneducated, ignorant, violent, 'gangsters', and criminals.
We don't need to be tearing up cities! we need to follow in the steps of others in exercise our right to protest, CALMLY. Our violence and cursing isn't helping our case.
These new tribute songs by T.I, G.A.G.E, and TheGame ft.variety of other rappers inspired me.
What's wrong is wrong. But had a black officer killed a white man he would have got the 'L'. We can try to fight the law. But, why not become the law... the judges, the police officers. Educate yourselves.

and trust me many more have been killed from senseless gun violence.
African Americans have comprised 26 percent of all police-shooting victims. Overall, young African Americans are killed by cops 4.5 times more often than people of other races and ages.
Since Brown’s death, at least 14 other teenagers—at least six of them African-American—have been killed by law enforcement in a variety of circumstances.
