At least 100 unarmed black people were killed by police in 2014, more than any other race.
Where you live matters. A black person in St. Louis is 5x more likely to be killed by police than a black person in New York City. A black person in Florida is more than 2.5x more likely to be killed by police than a black person in Georgia.
It's not about crime rates. Despite the fact that Newark and St. Louis have similar crime rates and demographics, police killed 4 black people in St. Louis and zero in Newark in 2014.

Get the facts about police violence in your community to make the case for change.

It doesn't have to be this way.  One black person was killed nationwide in Canada in 2014. There are more black people in Canada than Missouri.

We knew it was coming, North Charleston Police have released video footage to justify the murder of Walter Scott.

 "Scott was 'wanted for a 'family court warrant'! He is a horrible father, a criminal, why make him a victim when Officer Slager is the real hero!"

Update: Santana | Luggage & Baggage: Toward Our Better Days

Exclusive: Extended interview with witness to SC shooting



You saw the cold blooded murder. You've seen it before. What is the difference between selling a loose cigarettes and having a broken tail light? The end was the same.



Will our dreams come true
I believe in you
Show me the way to my better days
What's the price to pay
If I follow you


Feiden Santana is a hero, in fear.


Everybody sooner or later has to drop the luggage and the baggage of illusions.


Feiden Santana dropped his baggage of illusions. He has paid the price. May all his dreams come true.

Note:  Ramsey Ortega, who filmed the Eric Garner Video, is in prison and refusing to eat.  He is another "hero, in fear."~ RedEye
