Police Brutality And Social Injustice

My first piece is about equality and black rights. We are going through something bad as a nation, and it has been the worst for the last 5 years. My piece was a rap because i see all of these hip hop artists making music about rights, and i wanted to do the same for my piece. I researched all of the songs that shows the rapper speaking about police brutality, and rights for black people.

My story shows the same trendline as other incidents that relate to black people which is that at the end, the black man or woman ends up getting killed for doing nothing wrong. These situations are very sad to hear, and that's why i made a story that relates to all these stories relating to police brutality and social injustice. The story is like most of

these killings, a man being pulled over for some apparent reason, and when cooperating with the cop in a good way, somehow gets killed on sight with many shots to the chest and head area.

My poem was relating to tupac's never surrender poem that he made in 1994. I used this poem to make my own poem and relate it to police brutality. I tried to use some powerful words, with some examples of social injustices. I wanted my poem to show and send a message to all the people who have read my poem.

The reason why i did a police report is because most of the incidents that relates to the black community relates to the police and their attacks on black males. I wanted to show you the police officers point of view compared to how most people relate to the person who did nothing wrong but ends up being killed. The way the police officer described was to show you how the officer thinks he did nothing wrong.

My last piece was a news article about a killing in rosslyn, virginia. A man was pulled over, and was cooperating until he was trying to explain to the officer that he had something in the glove department. He kept repeating himself until he went to reach over and the cop took his gun out and told him to stop until 3 shots fired. Marcus was dead at the scene with a head shot and 2 to the chest. This type of situation has happened a lot in the last 5 years at a high rate, and this is something we need to change for the future.
