shawn bell

shawn bell

A Poem by A.K.Bruhn
"

i heard about this case and it made me mad to see a buch of people say things that were unnecisary so wrote this to retaliate on the people who thought that we need to do something big and i say yes just nothing stupid if you know what i mean

"

for those of u who don’t know about it here's what went down a young black man was at the club with some of his friends on the eve of his wedding and on there way out they were approached by plain clothed officers there was a confrontation and that's when the police opened fire on the car over 50 times killing shawn bell
there were no shots fired at the police and there was no weapon found in the car when it was searched. now the three officers in question WERE AQUITED OF ALL CHARGES .


i agree that something has to be done about this
i disagree that it should be violent. because doing something like that only assures the stereo type that police have not only on young black men but us young latinos .


what i'm talking about is that we should understand the laws we have and know how to represent our selves when confronted by the police .


which is knowing what to say and knowing what they can and cant do to you what they can and cant search without warrant .


and knowing these things is important because even if u can vote without knowing what your voting for then that vote was just wasted
the bottom line is know what your doing and know how to represent your self
