HIS SPINE WAS SEVERED.

FREDDIE GRAY VOCAL CORD WAS SNAPPED.
…”(CNN)Freddie Gray did not get timely medical care after he was arrested and was not buckled into a seat belt while being transported in a police van, Baltimore police said Friday.
Police Commissioner Anthony Batts told reporters there are no excuses for the fact that Gray was not buckled in as he was transported to a police. Five days after Gray's death and amid ongoing protests, police officials acknowledged mistakes were made during and after his arrest.station.”[http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/24/us/baltimore-freddie-gray-death/]

Why? There has to some type of resolution of the police standard of practice. It is now status quo for the misbehavior of some of the uniform rank and file to go on unsolved and no one held accountable for. We in the Black Community cannot stop bring light to these injustices. The modern day civil rights are being violated as they were in the 1940’s, 1950 and 1960’s.
I, a 50 something year old am exhausted with walking the streets to protest, but do encourage the young to continue the cause. Instead of the “baboonery” that is promoted on the idiot box, we cannot lose focus on the issues at hand. I have to encourage the young to never forget our resent past because it affects our future. Instead of material wishes, focus on how to enlighten one another, uplift and encourage our community and stop look for someone else to fix it.
To you celebrities, I implore you to use your platform, whatever it is,  to encourage who you have influence on to strive to do better for themselves and their communities. To those, what I call sub-cultures [WordStar, channels alike, etc.]  So of you act like “Stephen from DJANGO, STOP. Get with the program and stop the bullshit.
In this day of social media, instant news while it happens, there is no time to mobilize marches or protest, legislations to bring about notice. We already know! Nowadays there is video, undisputed evidence recorded. [Still no justice]
There are so many communities within our community that are doing good, we rarely see or acknowledge them but the media insist on feeding the frenzy with the bad police policies in action.
Until we change the police policy/law and the grand jury systems, they will be operating within the ..letter of the law.
Instead of promoting the foolishness of mindless, pointless, non-uplifting we need to continue to push for change.
