This song is so true...you can get killed just for living your life, just like Armadou Diallo.  Got killed just for having a wallet in his pocket and the suspicions of a special crime unit in NYC. 41 shots were fired, Diallo was hit by 19.

R.I.P Diallo

@grizzly6679 Better bone up on the books pig. Turn off bill o reilly and have an original thought for once. Pretty funny watching you flail, that is the only reason i would deign to respond to obvious drivel. obtw liberal and conservative mean the same damn thing... FAIL. I will see you in the streets, and when you wake up we will welcome you as a comrade. And save the corporate media commie rant, comrade means equal. Tell the chief hello for me too.

@wadadummy The only problem is people just like you! Blaming everyone else for your screw ups! It is always someone elses fault! it is one excuse after another! Grow up! Stop acting like a loser and do something with your life! The liberal way of thinking is what is wrong with this country! Just look what happened when idiots vote in a liberal president! He runs the country right into the ground! I feel sorry for people like you! You really have no idea what is going on in America!

[grizzly6679]

@wadadummy And dont even think about playing the race card with me man! That is a load of bullshit! Race has nothing to do with people getting arrested or shot! When black people get shot or arrested it is because they are breaking the law. Not because of the color of their skin! The biggest thing standing in the way of anyone of color, is themselves! The government gives everything to these people, yet they would rather act like a gangsta or rap singer, than to take responsibility and grow up!

[grizzly6679]

@wadadummy Wow, you need to take a long look in the mirror and wake up! It is your liberal, backwards way of thinking that has this country all messed up! The one percent? Are you kidding me? Do you even know who the people are that are in the occupy movement? Rich college kids with nothing better to do, so they protest on the streets to get back at mommy and daddy for saying no! They very people who are crying about the 1 percent, are the ones they are complaining about!

@grizzly6679 Wake up white man, your method of thought is part of the problem. Must be exhausting to be a cop, being a shill for the one percent. Protecting a lifestyle you dont get to have. Shooting Unarmed Civilians in the back are what tasers were made for right? We could ask Oscar GRant if he were still alive, and if you even had the humility to step to Oakland. This caucasion says to all the opressed people SOLIDARITY!

Oh, and to the person who think that the police should have a bilingual person with them when ever they are on duty.... Do you know what country you are in? Why should tax payers have to pay for a translator or why should officers have to learn another language to do their job? If a person wants to come to america and live the american dream, not to mention enjoy the benifits of being an american, then the very least they can do is learn the language! Its not too much to ask considering!
