This is what this is about. This is the injustice of the system.

If African Americans, as a whole, make up 14% of the U.S. population, why are 56% of police killings of young people African American?

In a seven year period of data collected by the FBI, 2800 fatal police shootings show that of 231 people under the age of 20 killed by police, 56% were black. Of 980 people between the age of 20-29, 42% were black. That is 45% of people killed by police African American.

Twice a week, a black boy is killed by a white cop.
