POLICE BRUTALITY AND JAYLAND WALKER
What kind of country do we live in when the police system creates more murders than the citizens within the country. It has been years of non stop racial and prejudice crimes taking place within the police departments in the United states of America. When will the war stop and what do the people have to do to stop the war? The United States of America is a slaughter house for the African Americans, Blacks and Natives of this land. There has to be justice given to those who deserve it because if you don't give it the people are eventually going to take the justice that they deserve for themselves.
How many has to die at the hands of police that are not armed?
Yet there is no justice that is given to these people!
How many has to die in police custody and still no justice has been given to those people and their families?
How many have to suffer the brutality of the police while they have no repercussions for their actions?
