No law passed in congress, sentencing to death police officers who kill innocent citizens
Officials always blame protesters and never acknowledge the need to disinfect police forces

Key Findings:

Police killed at least 104 unarmed black people in 2015, nearly twice each week. (See which police departments were responsible for these deaths)
Nearly 1 in 3 black people killed by police in 2015 were identified as unarmed, though the actual number is likely higher due to underreporting
36% of unarmed people killed by police were black in 2015 despite black people being only 13% of the U.S. population
Unarmed black people were killed at 5x the rate of unarmed whites in 2015

Only 13 of the 104 cases in 2015 where an unarmed black person was killed by police resulted in officer(s) being charged with a crime. 4 of these cases have ended in a mistrial or charges against the officer(s) being dropped and 4 cases are still awaiting trial or have a trial underway. Only 4 cases (Matthew Ajibade, Eric Harris, Paterson Brown Jr., and William Chapman) have resulted in convictions of officers involved, with a fifth case (Walter Scott) resulting in the officer pleading guilty.

Of the 4 cases where the officer(s) involved have been convicted and sentenced, none were sentenced to serve more than 4 years in prison. Only 1 of 2 officers convicted for their involvement in Matthew Ajibade's death received jail time. He was sentenced to 1 year in jail and allowed to serve this time exclusively on weekends. The officer who killed Paterson Brown was sentenced to only 3 months in jail. Deputy Bates, who killed Eric Harris, was sentenced to 4 years in prison and Officer Cobb, who killed William Chapman, was sentenced to 2.5 years in prison. Officer Slager, who killed Walter Scott and pled guilty, has yet to be sentenced.

Well we have our own problem on our home soil , heardsmen keep killing Nigerians
SARS keeps killing Nigerians
Poverty keeps killing Nigerians
Tribalism ! (Bloody same as racism)
We should face our problem let Dem yakee face theirs that's how we solve problems , not leaving the dirt in our eyes and trying to clean the dirt off another is pure hypocrisy (for lack of better words )

We are not killing white people in Africa. Our police are NOT targeting white minorities Get the issue right.
See this face, how is it different from the faces of your relatives or the faces you see on daily basis in Abuja, Lagos, Jos, Enugu, Kano or elsewhere in Nigeria ? No difference. Imagine African police killing white people the way it happens in the US! you would have seen the US taking the lead along with european communities harassing Africa.

America the LAND OF THE FREE MY ASS!

Is obvious u don't have any human sympathy d death of someone anywhere in d world should be of concern to any "living human being" anywhere in d world, asking for justice for someone u don't know cos his in anoda country is what makes u a human being cos it could be u that mite suffer d same fate and fighting to stop it now mite as well prevent it in d near future. Don't be a victim of narrow mindness and be a human being that fights t leave d world better than u met it... Ok, go and ask d UK why d 're protesting d way I see it half of d world where sane people live are going t join.d protest cos it concerns all. MET police should know this.is a protest
