I've been contemplating this thought since I heard about the death of Freddie Gray. I won't give my opinion on it. I'll let the facts speak for themselves
There is a direct correlation between police violence and rioting in black communities.
Chicago Race Riots of 1919
Tulsa, OK Race Riots
The Watts Riots, 1965
Newark, NJ Riots
Timothy Thomas, Cincinnati Riots
Rodney King Verdict/Los Angeles Riots
Murder of Michael Brown, Ferguson, MO
You know, I have to stop here. There are actually more that I did not post. So please don't get on your high horse and tell me the police aren't corrupt. Don't tell me that these men and women shouldn't have been breaking the law, Don't say anything. Learn something.
