The Issue

July 4, 2016 a African American man in a small town called Baton Rouge, La was gunned down by those hired to protect us. Video Shows, Mr. Alton Sterling with his hands in the air before he was bum rushed by Officer 1, Officer 2 then placed his hands on Mr. Sterlings shoulder and pointed the gun at Mr. Sterlings chest and fired 5x. Local PD states their body cameras fell off during altercation, luckily a bystander was able to film. We are so tired and fed up with police brutality among our community. We are no longer gonna accept this treatment sitting down, its time for action. We are humans with beating hearts that are bleeding from the treatment of our ancestors and relatives TODAY. We want Justice for Mr. Sterling, as well as the PAST AND FUTURE Mr. Sterlings!
