[00:09.20]The second time this week,
[00:10.77]A black man is shot by a police officer
[00:14.20]You know what I came to realize man.
[00:16.23]It's that we ain't promised tomorrow.
[00:18.20]Ya'll wanna shoot?
[00:19.63]Where I'm from we aint even promised today neither
[00:22.03]Where the justice at?
[00:23.47]My uncle always told me we was different when I was a kid.
[00:26.57]Never was too sure what he meant by that.
[00:29.03]Until I start seeing it for myself.
[00:32.10]Being a black man in america can go from racial profiling
[00:35.23]Which would lead to assault by a police officer
[00:38.67]Hands up. Don't shoot!
[00:40.60]It as if as we never even existed in the first place
[00:43.77]Nearly half of america's young black men...
[00:47.67]Its justified by most because of how much
[00:49.50]We be killing our own brothers.
[00:51.67]Black lives matter!
[00:53.20]You see we can no longer avoid the need to address us.
[00:56.53]Us a s a human race
[00:58.03]Us as a people
[00:59.57]Us as americans
[01:01.30]Those of us who knows what's right must stand up together.
[01:04.17]For our families.
[01:06.03]Our sisters, our brothers, our community
[01:09.17]'Cause one way or another
[01:10.33]No matter who we are, we're all affected.
[01:12.30]What do we want, justice!
[01:14.07]When do we want it, now!
[01:15.70]At the end of the day, it's us or else.
[01:29.57]Alright briggs you're driving. Come on.
[01:40.00]Boy you aint fast as you think you is
[01:41.53]Bullshit I run a 4 40

[05:09.20]Between the police and an african american male.
[05:11.77]Also mitchell says that his shooting
[05:13.40]Was justified in self-defense.
[05:16.23]Actually I'm getting just in,
[05:18.33]That the police have released that
[05:19.77]Officer mitchell's shooting was justified.
[05:22.40]Can you believe this is happening again.
[05:24.70]Our children can't even play in their own neighborhoods.
[05:28.30]We need to do something different.
[05:30.23]We need to do something bigger.
[05:32.23]We need to do something so that our voices are heard.
[05:35.07]Because this peace thing, its not working.
[05:41.20]Pastor, its time.

[08:24.07]Wasn't for folk who look like me
[08:25.17]And that's what I believe
