No, why don't you go fuck YOURSELF. A man was killed because police thought he had a gun. He really had a wallet. By all the tests and observations made, this probably would not have happened if he was white. All of these stereotypes people make including police are false. They fired a fucking 41 bullets at an innocent man. 19 went into his body. Police need to defend themselves, of course. But, they don't even give the suspect a chance. This is not the only time it happened. Fuck off

When I did this the officer told me to put my hands down, I said "No Sir"

I WANT ALL OF YOU WITH YOUR COMMENTS TO WEAR A POLICE UNIFORM AND GO OUT IN THE STREETS OF NEW YORK AND SPEND ONE NIGHT, THEN COME AND WE TALK ABOUT IT AGAIN

[David Domínguez]

How on earth can this comment have 45 'likes'?. Let me put this straight: you don't shoot a man 41 times, even if you're 100% sure they're carrying a gun. And of course, if you've hit this man once, you don't keep firing until he gets 18 more bullets; even if you're 100% they're carrying a gun. The way you put it, this song would be just some kind of mourning for an unavoidable misfortune no one can be held responsible for. Hell no: this is a song about the avoidable, a call for responsibility.

Buttiamo via il razzismo che c'è dentro ognuno di no! No al razzismo! Spegniamo il Razzismo!

Oh funny we can see things differently :P. I think the song is about Ahmed Amadou, who was black, therefor they killed him.

For me this song is about cops shooting a black man to death, because he was black. I mean He sings " You american skin" that gotta mean something else? They judged him for being black and wouldn't take a risk. :)
