'Tis time to keep those in power: City, State, Federal officials accountable to our community conditions. WE continue to be expected to fail in these systems of oppression (i.e., education, prisons, etc) and to fall victim to the streets. I say enough is enough!
Let's be the change we want to see and create this change by first keeping those accountable to our community conditions, because at the end of the day THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO WORK FOR US, so let's make them work!!!

AND to the LA times, I challenge you to do your research to see what these "people in power" have been doing to address the issue about youth homicides, criminalization and community violence in the marginalized communities of color in Los Angeles (i.e., Inglewood, South Central, East LA, Downtown, MidCity, etc.)

Nonetheless, RIP Emanuel, we will do you justice my boy!! Un modo o otro
