An officer kills a suspect and instantly quick protest.
Whether they right or wrong instant justice is required.

Gangs killing constantly in certain cities and not the same protest is seen.

One ruled by laws to contain the others not abiding by the laws.

Was race involved in the officer shooting?
Or was it apparent in the gangs killing?

Gangs give black on black crime a face.

You, not a man cause your claim is being in a gang.
You, not a good guy cause you wear a badge.

The saddest part is those living in better communities doesn't see the picture of those that bleed.

Until one makes the news scene.
