00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:10,733
The second time this week,
1
00:00:10,766 --> 00:00:13,133
A black man is shot by
a police officer
2
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,200
You know what I came
to realize man.
3
00:00:16,233 --> 00:00:18,166
It's that we ain't
promised tomorrow.
4
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:19,600
Ya'll wanna shoot?
5
00:00:19,633 --> 00:00:22,000
Where I'm from we aint even
promised today neither
6
00:00:22,033 --> 00:00:23,433
Where the justice at?
7
00:00:23,466 --> 00:00:26,533
My uncle always told me we was
different when I was a kid.
8
00:00:26,566 --> 00:00:29,000
Never was too sure what
he meant by that.
9
00:00:29,033 --> 00:00:31,500
Until I start seeing
it for myself.
10
00:00:32,100 --> 00:00:35,200
Being a black man in america can
go from racial profiling
11
00:00:35,233 --> 00:00:38,633
Which would lead to assault
by a police officer
12
00:00:38,666 --> 00:00:40,566
Hands up. Don't shoot!
13
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,733
It as if as we never even existed
in the first place
14
00:00:43,766 --> 00:00:47,633
Nearly half of america's
young black men...
15
00:00:47,666 --> 00:00:49,466
Its justified by most
because of how much
16
00:00:49,500 --> 00:00:51,633
We be killing our
own brothers.
17
00:00:51,666 --> 00:00:53,166
Black lives matter!
18
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,500
You see we can no longer avoid
the need to address us.
19
00:00:56,533 --> 00:00:58,000
Us a s a human race
20
00:00:58,033 --> 00:00:59,533
Us as a people
21
00:00:59,566 --> 00:01:01,266
Us as americans
22
00:01:01,300 --> 00:01:04,133
Those of us who knows what's right
must stand up together.
23
00:01:04,166 --> 00:01:06,000
For our families.
24
00:01:06,033 --> 00:01:09,133
Our sisters, our brothers,
our community
25
00:01:09,166 --> 00:01:10,300
'Cause one way or another
26
00:01:10,333 --> 00:01:12,266
No matter who we are,
we're all affected.
27
00:01:12,300 --> 00:01:14,033
What do we
want, justice!
28
00:01:14,066 --> 00:01:15,666
When do we
want it, now!
29
00:01:15,700 --> 00:01:20,100
At the end of the day,
it's us or else.
30
00:01:29,566 --> 00:01:32,033
Alright briggs you're
driving. Come on.
31
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,500
Boy you aint fast as

32
00:01:41,533 --> 00:01:44,133
Bullshit I run a 4 40

They don't call me

34
00:01:45,166 --> 00:01:46,233
Let's go
35
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,033
Hey man.
36
00:01:52,133 --> 00:01:55,033
Yo, yo, yo, yo!
37
00:01:55,066 --> 00:01:59,033
Why y'all making so much noise
out here so early man?
38
00:01:59,066 --> 00:02:00,566
He talking about he

00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,233

00:02:05,266 --> 00:02:06,133

44
00:02:06,166 --> 00:02:07,233
Me
45
00:02:07,266 --> 00:02:09,533
You don't run no
damn 4-40 how you?
46
00:02:09,566 --> 00:02:10,666
Man in them
timberlands.
47
00:02:10,700 --> 00:02:13,133
Get outta here man I
tell you what man,
48
00:02:13,166 --> 00:02:15,333
First one of y'all make it
back round this block
49
00:02:15,366 --> 00:02:16,666
Man I got 500 on it
50
00:02:16,700 --> 00:02:17,666
500?
51
00:02:17,700 --> 00:02:19,033
I got 500 on it.
52
00:02:19,066 --> 00:02:20,233
I'm doubling that.
53
00:02:20,266 --> 00:02:21,566
What you mean you
doubling that?
54
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:22,166
Who do you like?
55
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,166
You like him?
56
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:24,233
I like little homie
right here.
57
00:02:24,266 --> 00:02:25,233
Yup
58
00:02:25,266 --> 00:02:26,233
Yeah.
59
00:02:26,266 --> 00:02:27,266
Lets go.
60
00:02:27,300 --> 00:02:28,133
What you fuck
standing there for?
61
00:02:28,166 --> 00:02:29,533
Go get it!
62
00:02:29,566 --> 00:02:31,233
Pass that.
63
00:02:31,266 --> 00:02:33,333
You was out here
watching too.
64
00:02:33,366 --> 00:02:35,233
Let me hit that.
65
00:02:35,266 --> 00:02:36,333
Aye man.
66
00:02:36,366 --> 00:02:39,266
You, you been out
here all this time
67
00:02:39,300 --> 00:02:41,000
Watching this go off.
68
00:02:41,033 --> 00:02:42,166
It's cool to let the little
homies do a little
69
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,266
I think the idea is to
keep the noise down.
70
00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:46,266
You know what I mean?
71
00:02:46,300 --> 00:02:47,266
It's bad for business.
72
00:02:47,300 --> 00:02:49,166
Who, who winning though?
73
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:50,300
Little homie there
74
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,400
Ain't it hard enough,
75
00:02:52,433 --> 00:02:54,166
To bring your sons and
your daughters up?
76
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,200
Without dealing with
the racist stuff
77
00:02:55,233 --> 00:02:56,600
How about your boys
the falcons man?
78
00:02:56,633 --> 00:02:59,166
Man we made it to the super
bowl , they lost.
79

I would have stayed awake
the whole game
82
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,166
That's what I
would have done.
83
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:04,566
Man you wouldn't did shit.
84
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,033

What the fuck was that?
111
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,666
I don't know.

00:04:13,133 --> 00:04:14,666
Go get my shit.
113
00:04:31,133 --> 00:04:32,766
So we're sitting
in the car.
114
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,233
I saw the two
suspects running by
115
00:04:34,266 --> 00:04:36,400
And then I told briggs let's
go after the first one
116
00:04:36,433 --> 00:04:38,233
And I went after the
second one.
117
00:04:38,266 --> 00:04:40,000
Are you sure that's
what happened?
118
00:04:40,033 --> 00:04:41,433
What the fuck
did you do?
119
00:04:41,466 --> 00:04:43,266
He just came around
the corner and..
120
00:04:43,300 --> 00:04:46,033
They were fucking racing man
121
00:04:46,066 --> 00:04:46,700
Man you weren't
fucking there,
122
00:04:46,733 --> 00:04:50,066
It happened so fucking fast.
123
00:04:50,333 --> 00:04:52,400
If you're scared to work the muthafucking
neighborhood,
124
00:04:52,433 --> 00:04:54,700
You shouldn't be in the
fucking neighborhood.
125
00:04:54,733 --> 00:04:57,066
Get another job!
126
00:05:05,466 --> 00:05:07,366
We're here yet again for
the fifth shooting
127
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,166
In this community
this year.
128
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,733
Between the police and an
african american male.
129
00:05:11,766 --> 00:05:13,366
Also mitchell says
that his shooting
130
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,200
Was justified in
self-defense.
131
00:05:16,233 --> 00:05:18,300
Actually I'm
getting just in,
132
00:05:18,333 --> 00:05:19,733
That the police have
released that
133
00:05:19,766 --> 00:05:22,366
Officer mitchell's shooting
was justified.
134
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,666
Can you believe this is
happening again.
135
00:05:24,700 --> 00:05:28,266
Our children can't even play in
their own neighborhoods.
136
00:05:28,300 --> 00:05:30,200
We need to do
something different.
137
00:05:30,233 --> 00:05:32,200
We need to do
something bigger.
138
00:05:32,233 --> 00:05:35,033
We need to do something so that
our voices are heard.
139
00:05:35,066 --> 00:05:38,100
Because this peace thing,
its not working.
140
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,266
Pastor, its time.
141
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,433
Hey man, what the hell happened
to nigga wheels?
142
00:06:08,466 --> 00:06:10,433
Man, I heard the police
that shot wheels
143
00:06:10,466 --> 00:06:12,033
Getting off that shit.
144
00:06:12,066 --> 00:06:13,033
No they say he had a gun.
145
00:06:13,066 --> 00:06:14,300
He ain't have no
fucking gun.
146
00:06:14,333 --> 00:06:15,333
He ain't have no
motherfucking gun.
147
00:06:15,366 --> 00:06:16,733
Everybody be saying that.
148
00:06:16,766 --> 00:06:17,766
Wheels be using
the hands.
149
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,200
Shit I bet if we
start busting back
150
00:06:19,233 --> 00:06:21,100
At they ass they'll stop.
151
00:06:21,133 --> 00:06:24,466
Yeah man, that's what the
fuck I'm talking about.
152
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,233
Come with me real quick.
153
00:06:31,266 --> 00:06:33,066

00:06:33,100 --> 00:06:34,266
Where y'all going man?
155
00:06:34,300 --> 00:06:36,066
I don't know I'll be back.
156
00:06:36,100 --> 00:06:37,233
Be safe.
157
00:06:37,266 --> 00:06:38,200
For real.
158
00:06:47,300 --> 00:06:49,266

All dissapointed
161
00:06:55,066 --> 00:06:56,466

I believe the bible
is re-written
165
00:06:59,533 --> 00:07:00,700
The preacher be bullshit
166
00:07:00,733 --> 00:07:02,233
So when they speak believe
not a thing
167
00:07:02,266 --> 00:07:04,133
Believe m.l. King had
a dream for real
168
00:07:04,166 --> 00:07:06,033
He in heaven and we dealin
with a demon still
169
00:07:06,066 --> 00:07:08,000

Sell dope to get
some money shit
180
00:07:26,566 --> 00:07:28,033
I wanna do law, but I
can't go to school,
181
00:07:28,066 --> 00:07:29,300
Ain't got the money to
182
00:07:29,333 --> 00:07:31,233
Rather give me 50 years
than a scholarship
183
00:07:31,266 --> 00:07:33,233
Anything to keep me
out of politics
184
00:07:33,266 --> 00:07:35,233
I believe politicians pull
a lot of tricks
185
00:07:35,266 --> 00:07:37,233
The war on drugs, crack
epidemic, all of that
186
00:07:37,266 --> 00:07:39,000
The death of bob
marley and malcolm x
187
00:07:39,033 --> 00:07:41,000
Pac and biggie too but I ain't
really sure of that
188
00:07:41,033 --> 00:07:42,433
Believe jesus died
for my sins
189
00:07:42,466 --> 00:07:44,333
Don't need no fake image
to hide behind man
190
00:07:44,366 --> 00:07:46,066
The kkk and the usa
191
00:07:46,100 --> 00:07:48,366
Got thing like superman
got for lois lane
192
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,300
Uncle sam left a lady
just to dress up
193
00:07:50,333 --> 00:07:52,066
Grabbing on her pussy yelling
show that thing
194
00:07:52,100 --> 00:07:53,366
To be clear,
195
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:54,133
I ain't tryna say there
ain't no black thing
196
00:07:54,166 --> 00:07:55,233
Or a white thing
197
00:07:55,266 --> 00:07:56,466
It's a dead wrong
and right thing
198
00:07:56,500 --> 00:07:57,666
Believe white supremacy
and y'all gon see
199
00:07:57,700 --> 00:07:59,333
Everything they try to
bring down on me
200
00:07:59,366 --> 00:08:01,400
Stop and frisk, mass
incarceration
201
00:08:01,433 --> 00:08:03,300
Perpetuation of
recidivism
202
00:08:03,333 --> 00:08:05,333
Create a system that
is hard to break
203
00:08:05,366 --> 00:08:07,133
A million still
behind bars today
204
00:08:07,166 --> 00:08:09,200
Because columbus day you
believe a holiday
205
00:08:09,233 --> 00:08:11,233
What about capone
and doc holiday
206
00:08:11,266 --> 00:08:13,133
Lucky luciano, john

207
00:08:13,166 --> 00:08:15,000
Bobby johnson and a
larry hoover day
208
00:08:15,033 --> 00:08:16,600
Happy meech day,

209
00:08:16,633 --> 00:08:19,266
Happy hitler day,
sound stupid, eh?
210
00:08:19,300 --> 00:08:22,233
That's a hypocrisy more american
than democracy
211
00:08:22,266 --> 00:08:24,033
Far as I can see,
the constitution
212
00:08:24,066 --> 00:08:25,133
Wasn't for folk who
look like me
213
00:08:25,166 --> 00:08:26,400
And that's what I believe
214
00:08:36,366 --> 00:08:39,266
Waking up, thanking god.
215
00:08:39,300 --> 00:08:43,533
Everyday is feeling
just like sunday.
216
00:08:44,133 --> 00:08:48,600
Hey there, how you
doing? Alright.
217
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:54,400
Well isn't this
wonderful. Alright.
218
00:09:00,466 --> 00:09:03,133
A life for a life.
219
00:09:03,166 --> 00:09:07,600
Now what kind of message does
this give to the people?
220
00:09:08,133 --> 00:09:12,266
Is it our message? Is this
what we want to do?
221
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:22,466
Naw, this...this is the
message. Alright.
222
00:09:24,566 --> 00:09:25,333
How are you?
223
00:09:25,366 --> 00:09:28,433
Good
224
00:09:31,566 --> 00:09:33,666
I don't care what the
fucking media says.
225
00:09:33,700 --> 00:09:34,733
Alright their not
the ones who have
226
00:09:34,766 --> 00:09:36,633
To worry about getting
shot on the job.
227
00:09:36,666 --> 00:09:37,666
You know I wasn't
there right?
228
00:09:37,700 --> 00:09:39,300
