African American Justice System
To the editor of time magazine
Our country is in the process of getting tared apart. Our justice system is discriminating against our african-american citizens and this needs to stop! We have to stop the shootings of african-americans that has occured all over our country so that we once again can be proud to call ourselfs Americans.
During the last couple of years atrocious killings have occured here in the US. I belive everyone has heard about cases like Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and Eric Gardner, all innocent african-american men killed by policeofficers who didn't get convicted or punished at all for ending their lives.

A great way of taking part in the converstion is joining the BlackLivesMatter organisation and show that theres a lot of people out there who see the problem and who sees that it needs to change. So go out and make som noice because this needs to
