On October 13, at the auditorium in Whitman College, I went to go see writer and civil rights activist Shaun King. Shaun King’s lecture surrounded Civil Rights and the Black Lives Matter movement. Shaun King brought up several intellectual philosophical questions to the audience, such as “If humans are getting steadily getting better than why are than why are there 102 unarmed African Americans killed last year?”, which he compared to 1902, when 102 African Americans were lynched. King described…

The legal issue surrounding this heinous crime done to males can be complicated. To start off with police officers are usually the first responders and at time they can cause more harm than good. Officers are not at times properly trained for this kind of response and can be insensitive. Some officers when encountering a male victim they are usually in disbelief.

On June twenty-seventh, 1969 the Stonewall Rebellion, also known as “the emblematic event in modern lesbian and gay history” had started. It was a time where police and agents from the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board were called in to look for violations of the alcohol control laws in a bar named the Stonewall Inn because it was believed that they did not have a liquor license.

“Bang,bang” another black male has been shot and killed, which again starts a riot of enraged African Americans. However, Americans,such as republicans,police, and citizens have not recognized the growing injustice in a so-called “justice system”.This injustice is like a disease that will spread throughout the whole body until we have a nation acknowledge the problem and find a cure. Have you ever seen an alcoholic? The majority of alcoholics can not admit that they have a problem until it…

No one ever answered so they busted it down with their foot and it sounded like a big gun shot but it wasn't. When the police got in there all you could see is smoke, ash trays, and bags, rello, and beer and other drinks. All you could smell is weed and cigarettes. The cops started searching the house and while they were upstairs they heard the back door open and they were gone. They all were in there as…
