a. khristin brown - hold your hands up lyrics
i was overwhelmed with unarmed boys dying in the news. i became more aware that it could happen to anyone, even me. trayvon martin and micheal brown story shocked me because of how they died and how it happened at their age being so young high school students. the people involved‚ victims of families or the victims themselves who are apart of the movement came forward to speak in behalf to those who couldn’t
i could not honestly give a speech to blame the conditions poor people live in as a source of anger used to blame for their actions. i feel it is wrong that the police have the power to k!ll at will or in danger. the fifth commandment says thy shall not k!ll. what i witnessed on the news‚ is wrong to murder someone who appears innocent and isn’t a threat. again it’s wrong to retaliate and k!ll the police. they should be held accountable for their actions. the police should be taught more sensitive and empathy sk!lls towards black people. the police should be aware of the conditions of society and that blacks are humans who have rights and should be treated as equal
trayvon martin was walking home while talking on his cell. he had bought a bag of skittles from the store. a night watchman was suspicious and approached him. trayvon fought back and was shot
micheal brown was stopped by police for stealing. when asked to put his hands up he did and was shot by the police several times
eric garner was apprehended by the police for illegally selling cigarettes outside a store. eric was placed in a head lock and died
there was a college instructor pulled over‚ police was suspicious, asked to step out of her car and was arrested. she later died in prison cell
after the death of trayvon martin, people watched the trial on national news that told the tragic story of what lead up to his death. the night watchman got acquitted. the micheal green story was broadcast by the media with the details of his death. micheal was shot over ten times. both kids were young teenagers in high school. again no one was held responsible for what happened. the community began protesting against police brutality. there were community riots‚ community forums, social groups formed in unified protest with civil rights leaders, stars and athletes. someone started a hashtag on twitter #blacklivesmatter that would allow people to report live on twitter unlawful police brutality. it went viral with enough responses. the people’s response was to show through the media that police brutality was a big problem amongst black people mistreated by the police. black lives matter became a young group movement of college students to say that k!lling innocent blacks is a epidemic amongst policemen that is wrong and it needs to change
there are ways you can prevent a bad outcome when confronted by the police. when the police pull you over‚ you stop your car, place your hands in view on the dash board. be nice to the police. don’t argue with the police. hold your hands up in eyes view when asked by the police. answer their questions. ask the police for permission before reaching for your purse, wallet and tag insurance. don’t fight the police. don’t run from the police. the police is trained to act that way
a dream becomes a nightmare
poem written by angela khristin brown
young beautiful black boy gifted black boy innocent black boy when does race become a crime? at the wrong time at the wrong place at the mercy of god maybe i identify their death as a senseless act as victims of retribution and misfortune murdered by the police like chains clasping at his feat his death plea an insurrection into haven where freedom ain’t so free where poverty covets needs where hustling quenches thirst where addiction covets desire the root of our problem is where we fail to understand the black man carries his weight like dog tags because he becomes accountable for his own actions it is disappointing to see black men carry torches where nooses covets want where lashes covets thirst where shackles covets hunger and silence becomes our greatest misfortune because we fail to raise our boys to become men due to lack of confidence in our system that failed us
