BLACKOUT HITS HOLLYWOOD
Post by Tyrese Gibson.
the next antebellum era hits hollywood. people are fed up with police brutality. just last night a man was shot and killed on hollywood & highland. they claim he was welding a knife, although no one has come forward as a victim. the knife turned out to be a swiss army knife. illegal? perhaps, but a reason to be gunned down dead?...
there will be civil unrest until the issue of the current "police state of mind" is addressed. btw~ the shooting victim was WHITE
