- Yeah!

- When he got assassinated.

When he got executed.

This how he was. So, we

gotta do it like this.

Let's keep it real. Okay?

The police department wanna come

out here and cover up something

that one of their law

enforcements did, man.

Then you come out here and you

wanna sic the dogs on us, you know.

It's time for us to unite, man.

Say it loud! I'm black and I'm proud.

- Say it loud!

- I'm black and I'm proud.

- Say it loud!

- I'm black and I'm proud.

- Say it loud!

- I'm black and I'm proud.

- Say it loud!

- I'm black and I'm proud.

- Say it loud!

- I'm black and I'm proud.

- Say it loud!

- I'm black and I'm proud.

- Say it loud!

- I'm black and I'm proud.

- Say it loud!

- I'm black and I'm proud.

- Say it loud!

- I'm black and I'm proud.

- No justice.

- No peace.

- No justice.

- No peace.

- No justice.

- No peace.

Protest. They got the police out here.

We tax paying citizens,

they bring out f***ing K-9s.

- Y'all supposed to protect and serve, not kill.

- No fear.

Keep going. No fear.

Keep going. Hands up brother. Hands up.

We want answers.

We want answers. We want answers.

You know, we not just here

just to be ranting and raving.

We want to talk about this issue.

Remember, y'all stood for this.

You, you, you, you. Y'all stood for this.

I don't want y'all killing my child

because she walked out the door,

y'all having a bad day, "Move

out the way, motherf***er."

The constant denial of our humanity

by not even looking us in the eye.

You killed a boy, you

have to answer for that.

You don't just get to

shut yourself in an office.

Put your hands up. Put your

hands up. Put your hands up!

Don't shoot.

Don't shoot.

The chants kept people

energized. It kept them going.

It actually kept them feeling like

there was actually a direction.

Here we go.

- No justice, no peace.

- Say what?

- No justice, no peace.

- Say what?

No justice, no peace.

We are marching on West Florrisant

towards the police barricade in Ferguson.

Police fired a warning shot.

A flare up.

Needlessly provoking the crowd.

It got those young brothers

and sisters riled up.

They weren't riled up before

then. They was out there,

they was mad, they was upset

but they weren't doing anything.

It just set them off.

Don't shoot. Don't shoot.

Don't shoot. Don't shoot.

There was no fear in the

heart of people anymore.

This is the military police.

This is not the police from our hood.

We're trying to mourn and you

came here with 300 cop cars,

in riot gear and K-9 units.

This is the same thing that

pretty much got us here.

We here.

We here. They ready to

drop the teargas, man.

We our keepers.
