Students Making a Change
This picture tells a thousand words just by itself. This is picture is a great on to look at because it shows that these younger kids are taking a stand for what they know/ think is right and trying to make it better for a better tomorrow. I know for a fact that these kids are doing this because they feel the need to help out friends and family and to show that these bad people in the world only make them stronger as a community. The kids doing this had a lot of courage to speak out against these higher up people and to let them know who is right and who is wrong. They are just like these grown ups showing how they feel and taking initiative to take control of the situation, this can be connected to the school walkout by the Latinos in the 1940's, these young kids in middle school and in high school fought this battle of racism and they decided to take control and make a better life for their future generation.

Police Brutality, Misconduct and Shootings
News about police brutality, misconduct and shootings. Commentary and archival information about police brutality and misconduct from The New York Times. These people that are affected each and everyday but these so called "police" I really do not feel bad for these people that think that its alright to go through all this training and go through all these hoops to become a police man and they just throw it all away because they thought a colored man or an immigrant was "reaching for a gun." These types of people in the academy need to find a way to break free of this habit of thinking that every person is bad and that its a shoot to kill, but the people they are harming have family and or people they need to support at home so maybe that's why they might or might not have been doing something bad because everyone knows family is number one.
