Black Lives Matter
Black lives matter was created because of the the racism that African Americans are faced . Black lives matter is a non violence movement that was created based on the killings of African American of society over the past years by whites. Over the past couple of years there has been a dramatic increase of police brutality. We know that the police are suppose to protect us not to kill us. This has been a major problem in today’s society and in the African American community , mainly the males are more target then the females.
Because of the increase of African American killing had cause a lot of fear with in the community. In many cases, the police are founded not guilty even if its evidence pointing towards a officer. For example, Sandra Bland was killed by police officer while incarcerated. Bland was pulled over because she failed to signal when she was changing lanes.in the video when he first pulled her and was telling her to get out the car, he was being aggressive. Her death was mysterious because she only spend 3 nights in jail and was alive when booking but she all of sudden died in police custody. The news showed a video of her dead in a suppose to be mugshot that was next to the one she took when she first arrived at the sight. When the case went to trial the officer who pulled her over and other in the jail was trailed. It was evidence against each of the officers, but when it came to determine whether or not if the officers guilty or innocent . The court came up with letting the officers off and they can go back to work.
This made the African American community outrage and riots starts to break out world wide because of the decision that was made even with the evidence they had. That’s where Black lives matter came about because they understand that people are up set but starting riots will not make this go away. The Black live matter movement made people understand that the justice system is unfair but we have to remain together in order to stand strong.
