he wasn t inside the house this is three this person shot through the door, the glass? you are right, jose when they start trying to say stand your ground, it s just it wreaks of it goes back to those cases where you saw black people being shot just because the color of their skin allegedly. they justified those things back in those times thank god, after trayvon, we started saying black lives matter we believe with ralph yarl this attempted murderer is going to be held accountable despite them
actual real political goal. it s not just a slogan. it s a real political goal. you said. you re going to hire more than 200 detectives and other things as well. but how do you respond in that because you re saying directly that deep on the police? it s not just a slogan. it is a goal for you. gold for you. well here at going to defund the police. what i was referring to is, if you remember when trayvon martin was murdered. president obamaaid that if he were to have a son, he would look like trayvon. what i m speaking to the mike brown s the laquan mcdonald s. we re over and over again. you ve had people who are prepared and willing to work within the structure of the system in which unfortunately, has been quite brutal to black and brown people. and so even with body cams, it s still continue to happen. so speaking to the real frustration that exists all over the city, all over the city of chicago, but quite frankly,

justice for trayvon! justice for trayvon! the moral anthem and political cry black lives matter came into being in the wake of trayvon martin s death. when it came to emmett till, back in 1955 on behalf of a 14-year-old boy, mamie till had to say his black life mattered. in the case of the 16th street baptist church bombings, for decades, on behalf of four little girls and a fifth girl who was maimed, we were literally saying black girls lives matter. early 80s, there was not a sense of security that history would not repeat itself. we d seen the klan numerous times get away with lynchings, get away with brazen acts of violence against blacks to which there were no consequences. no one was ultimately held accountable.
