"Black Blood"
Narrator: Tamir "TJ" Martin Jr.
PRESENT DAY

I've been black my whole life, so this comes as no surprise. But it still hurts me anyway. I know not what to say. They, clad in blue, take our lives. Red hands dare snuff out our light, then throw our image on the screen; screaming we are the "obscene". Another victim painted guilty, chalk outlines plague the city. If I can't make you believe that this blood on the street is worth as much as the protectors you hold dear... If I can't just make you see this black blood on the street, then this assault will permeate endless, I fear. I have been black my whole life. It should come as no surprise that I am angry with this norm, now I'm welcoming the storm. You, under oath, dare to lie. I know not how you sleep at night. But they protect you just the same. This whole damn system is to blame. Another killer found "not guilty", chalk outlines plague the city.

Another way to judge the guilty, chalk outlines plague the city.
