Rampant Police Brutality Against United States Citizens of Color Second Round

Prejudice, inferiority and abuse maligned, hashtagged, and dogged heels of peoples uprooted peoples south of the equator, or elsewhere whose epidermis strongly hinted fifty plus shades of ebony. They found themselves in debasement within complex edifice housing facade of equality ofttimes receiving punishment their sole supposed crime accentuated, heightened, perpetrated courtesy born swarthy complexion even if prominent features (think European) quite apparent. Two hundred and thirty three months into twenty first century bias toward slave descendants wracks western civilization in general, and United States of America in particular i.e. land of the free and the home of the brave keynote doth ardently heard far and wide, yet many nth generations removed since slavery abolished still remain shackled, especially when men/women in blue subject random person of color to physical assault frequently culminating with death of falsely accused whereby police person acquitted. Day after day, week after week, month after month... brutish and nasty thuggish haughty uniformed cops create deadly merciless altercations begetting livid rage among populations anonymous brethren beaten, shot, strangled... ensuing hatred particularly endemic within lower income poorer neighborhoods where bedlam runs amok!
