    I think this is a very powerful video and brings into question a controversial but important issue. It puts it into perspective of people who are directly impacted by the police brutality and voices their pain.

    This is extremely harmful. From the voice over that says that it is only black men getting killed to 911 calls from cases where officers were exonerated and false information was spread. Celebrities lying on the ground to do make me think anymore deeply about this topic. Do they think we care about celebrities and not the actual people who were killed? I care about Castille and what happened to him, Van Jones lying on the ground does not help me gain better perspective. That is insulting.
