Blacks Are In Risk!

Hello Everyone, Welcome back to my blog!! Remember the George Floyd incident? That was sad. Now, I am going to tell you another sad incident that happened in 2018. It was in Virginia. Marcus- David Peters, a 24 year old biology teacher just left his day job and went to his second job as a part-time security at a hotel. He left the hotel naked, got into his car, and Michael Nyantakyi, a police officer who had seen this incident. Nyantakyi threatened Peters by showing him a Taser. Nyantakyi shot Peters in the stomach twice. Peters sadly died. Blacks are in danger, because if they don't listen to the police, they can die.  If a black is deaf and can't hear the police, the police will shoot them. That will cost their death. Peters's sister is saying that nothing will make her happy until someone with mental-issues is not shot like her brother.
