This week two black men were shot and killed, Alton Sterling and Philando Castile. One on Tuesday then the next Wednesday.
The short story about Alton Sterling is that he was selling bootleg CDs and someone had called the cops on him. The police arrived and as you can see in this video, he was thrown down by the police and restrained. A person said 'He has a gun' and then they shot him in the chest killing him.
Talk about sad as even though he was illegally selling these CDs, he could have just been arrested. Alton Sterling has 6 kids and was selling them to feed his family. And in the news they use his mug shot as the girl who killed a homeless person got her selfie used.

With Philando Castile, he had gotten pulled over for a broken taillight. The cop, of course what they always ask you, asked for his license and registration. He told the officer before he reached that there was a weapon in the car and he was license to carry. And as he reached for his licenses and registration, got shot 4 times. He didn't die immediately and as you can see in this video, his girlfriend videoed the aftermath.
His girlfriends little daughter was in the car and saw everything. And also, they didn't even have a broken taillight. Fucking sad.
~~~~~~
Now I will talk about what happened in Texas with 5 cops being murdered because it relates to these two murders.
It was a peaceful protest for Black Lives Matter on Thursday, July 7 about the two murders. The shooting didn't occur during the peaceful protest. It happened right after when people started to leave. There was more that one person shooting. One was shot by the police.
~~~~~~
I didn't even get to finish swallowing Alton Sterling's death, when the next day I saw what happened to Philando Castile. Pissed off, I said, I want those fucking cops dead. How can they go home and live a normal life after they killed an innocent person?! Then the very next day, 5 innocent cops got murdered.
We can't fight violence with violence. And I believe that with my very heart. If Martin Luther King changed us with peaceful protesting why can't we do that now?
