Its been claimed for many years now that young African American males as well as males of the Hispanic races, have been harassed, arrested, or even killed by policemen. However, the interesting thing that threads almost each and every one of these cases is the fact that when approached, the bystanders had been loudly listen to "hip hop" or "rap" music. So the apparent question is, is this so called "police brutality" being induced by the racial factor or the musical? I know that most of the young men that i know that listen to rap music are all African American and claim that just because they listen to rap music does not mean that they are thugs or gangsters, therefore police officers are just stereotyping them as being affiliated with a gang, with no prior knowledge of them at all. And therefore, are violating their rights.

In the article, a young man was listening to his rap music loudly and is approached by two officers. The officers claimed that the man reached back into his back pocket reaching for a gun, so they shot and killed him. However, it was later identified and proven that the young man had actually been reaching for his wallet but the officers did not give him a chance to do or say anything in his defense before carelessly opening fire. Close friends of the victim claimed that the police in that area had been very brutal lately with anyone who they assumed could have been associated with gangs. So one of the victims rapper friends made a project where many different rappers came from many different places, putting their differences aside in the sake of the art and speaking out against ruthless police brutality.
