Damn. America’s justice system is broken. You may not need more proof, but maybe someone around you does. Press play and walk away. Get coffee or something. But stay mad, stay woke, stay engaged and stay ready.

Killer Mike Overwhelmed with Emotion Following the Ferguson Grand Jury Statement In St. Louis (Video)
Riots are only the language of the unheard.

Killer Kill from Adamsville gets it: The sentiments expressed so perfectly by Jay Smooth (posted on earlier here) are revisited so emotionally by Hip-Hop’s proud son, Killer Mike. In St. Louis (Missouri, USA) with his homie El-P to rock a Run The Jewels set, he heard the news out of Ferguson, Missouri [that no action will be taken against the officer that killed Mike Brown] – and like many on the scene – it rubbed him so raw he was hurt, was scared, was angry, was feeling retaliatory (ready to burn something down)… BUT… Mike hugged it out, cried it out, talked it out, got on stage and let it out. AND TORE THAT M#THERF#CKER DOWN!!!
Tonight I got kicked on my ass… You m#therf#ckers got me today. I have a 20 year son. I have a 12 year old son. And I am so afraid for them… These m#therf#ckers got me today. But with that said, you m#therf#ckers will not own tomorrow!

Watch the video-taped confessional turn into a high-energy Hip-Hop Revival up in the spot. Revolution energy being channeled. Prepare before you press play; a tissue for one hand… while balling the other into a fist and raising it in solidarity.
This is Hip-Hop. GO!

NY Police Officers Caught on High Quality Video Breaking Into a Teenager’s Home & Murdering Him (Video)
Here we go again with these rogue police officers who are murdering innocent men & women. This time it was all caught on a security camera how two NY police officers broke down the door of Ramarley Graham’s home without a warrant & murdered him in cold blood. No weapon was found in the man’s home or on his person. Shout out to my homie Jamal Garrett who put me onto what happened last night…
NY Police Officers Caught on tape Planting Drugs On A Black Couple (Video)
On February 11, 2011 the UPD pulled over two people on the corner of Oneida Street and Clinton Place in Utica New York. The video shows Utica Police Officers Palladino and Padulla allegedly placing something in the man’s vehicle. It is argued that this is the same bag he took from the driver at around 6:30 of the original video. One of the many reasons this video was posted was because neither suspect had any cocaine on them, yet felony controlled substance charges were given–at a later time than this traffic stop–then eventually dropped. The Utica Phoenix news website had crashed due to the amount of traffic they received in the first 24 hours after this was posted. Obviously they now have since moved to a larger, faster server and all should be working as it should.
