Being killed. With no one being accountable for our deaths, with there being no person actually being tried and found guilty and it looks as if our lives dont matter. So initially we had a peaceful protest yesterday and eventually it did become a little bit more rowdy, but what do you expect from human beings when consistently were being killed and theres no accountability for our deaths . Thats the problem. My problem is that im sorry. Go ahead. No. Im sorry. There were 12 Police Officers injured. You had said earlier you dont want your city to turn into a baltimore. We know how tense things have been in that city, so what is it that youre looking for . What do you want the environment to be . Justice. Equality. Thats all we ask for. We want to have a good quality of life. We want to go home safely to our families as well. At the end of the day for me its not about the cops versus black people, its about black people being killed and oppressed and hurt every single day, being treated
