FOR THE STORY

HEART SINKS, EYES WEEP
BRAIN EXPLODES, CAN’T SLEEP

DON’T UNDERSTAND, I NEVER WILL
SWEET CHILDREN WHY DO THE COPS KILL?

CHILDREN WITH DARK SKIN
HARDLY LET THEIR LIVES BEGIN

INNOCENT, UNARMED, SIXTEEN AND UNDER
COPS CALL IT A BLUNDER

MISTAKE THEY SAY
CHILDREN BEATEN OR SHOT TO DEATH IN USA
