Black Lives Matter

These are my comments on "One Slogan, Many Methods"



  People are trying to end police violence and make police more accountable for their actions. People start political committees to support the black lives matter movement. Guns need to go away, your skin color does not define you being dangerous or not. This article is important because it has to do with people "human rights". One quote that supports this article is "at this point marching, and protesting is not going anywhere, its our reactions"



   The following unit is evidence of justice, good government and human nature. Every one wants to be treated equally and respected. Everything has to be fair and equal. We need good government, especially like higher knowledge, people controlling citizens and setting laws. Theres a lot of people in this world and it creates a disaster between human species. Arguing, fighting, and killing needs to end now.
