They Don't Give a Damn ! Police Brutality on Blacks Excused By Trump: Re-broadcast

The Walt Weekly again takes on Police brutality against Black men and women. It is evident that they don’t give a damn with Trump encouraging them and backing them up. A policeman shooting an unarmed black man 7 times is like a golfer choking on a 3-foot putt. He even went as far as to try and justify the 17-year old that killed two people. Since when is killing someone justified unless it is in self-defense or war. We take a deep dive into this real threat to our country.

Understand that White Supremacist cannot give you freedom nor do they have that right. Freedom is not gained without sacrifice. Look at those that died during the Civil Rights Movement. Freedom is earned, nurtured and protected from future threats.
