Freddie Gray. He was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Police brutality is not a new topic; it's been happening for decades. During the Civil Right's Movement, extreme force was used to subdue protests, both violent and peaceful. It is this fact that I feel we need to remind ourselves of. Persecution against those that are different has been recorded across centuries and across the globe.
So why, now, is the media choosing to report, predominantly, police brutality against African Americans? And what does this "reporting" do to the viewers? What is considered news is at the digression of the channels, but we all know that everyone has their price.
What then happens when we strip away the power of the police, and the public no longer fears authority?

The media has an agenda to keep black people voting democrat and police are a great wedge issue.
