They have been harassing Black people and treating them like their rights don’t matter for the last 250 years.  White people instead of getting mad at those cops for being guilty are choosing to get mad at Black people for not acting out on their behalf.

33% of black people killed by cops in 2014 were unarmed, against 18% of whites. 

We have a problem with the overall relationship between citizens and police force, but Black young males  are the most-affected demo of all.

#BlackLivesMatter

“My father died when I was six. He drowned on a fishing trip. My mother had to raise five of us in North Philadelphia. I remember being twelve years old and going to a market on the corner. My mother had sent me with a note, asking for some credit so we could buy some food. The owner made me wait. There were other people in the store, and they were paying, so this guy is just skipping all over me. He’s making me beg in front of everyone. He’s saying things like: ‘Your mom still owes me. She never pays.’ My mom was my queen, and he’s running her down in front of all these people. It was degrading. I hated that he had that power over me. Like he had water, and I was thirsty. So I screamed at him and stormed out. I kept thinking: ‘One day I’m going to buy that store.’ But then I calmed down, and I realized that I just spazzed on the one guy who could help us. So I walked up to some of the dope boys on the corner, and asked them to let me earn. They thought I was too young at the time. They wanted to protect me. So they just gave me the money.”
