Alton Sterling and Philando Castile
killed in front of their children
Alton Sterling and Philando Castile
shot for celling CDs and a broken taillight while Black
Alton Sterling and Philando Castile
both had concealed weapons permits
Why is the NRA remaining silent?
Because those laws only protect White people
who want to shop at Walmart,
get coffee at Starbucks
and attend the Republican National Convention
Even the Louisiana and Minnesota governors
say that if Sterling and Castile were White
they wouldn’t have been shot

Trollers on Facebook and other social media
say that when we talk about these issues
we are “playing the race card,”
we have “reverse racism towards the cops,”
“not everything is about race,”
“Black on Black crime
is a higher statistic than
White cops killing Black people.
Why don’t you talk about that?”
and “All Lives Matter.”

Someone I know said,
“The police are asking for warfare in this country.
Black people aren’t going to take this much longer.”
On July 7, 2016 people protest in Oakland, California,
New York City, Washington, D.C., Chicago,
Saint Paul, Minnesota, Baton Rouge, Louisiana,
and Dallas, Texas
On CNN the protestors are told to remain peaceful
Why don’t they say that to the police?
Protestors vandalize a police station and block
the I880 freeway in Oakland for hours
In Washington, D.C. they talk over
Congressmen John Lewis
In Dallas five police officers are killed
and seven are injured from a sniper
near El Centro College
In Baton Rouge three cops are killed
Guns don’t kill, people do?
