And no one is around

Location

If a black man is shot and no white people are around to see it, will justice be served?

If the shooter is white, does it matter who was around to see it?

If a black man is walking to his grandmother's house and shot dead, is he a thug?

If a black man is accused of stealing a dollar cigar, does it justify his murder.

The grand jury says yes.

A boy whose last words were "Don't shoot" with his hands in the obviously started the conflict.

An unarmed black boy going to see his nana was obviously looking to assault a cop.

If the media reports false information, will anyone believe it?

If an unarmed black man is shot six times while screaming "Don't shoot", will the media use a picture that depicts him as a thug to justify his death?

If the grand jury is made up of 9 whites and 3 blacks and it only takes 9 people to make a decision, will anyone speak up?

If protesters scream the injustices and no one is willing to listen, will justice be served?
