Let’s talk Chicago Police’s Gun Buyback Program.....with Fingerprinting? I thought it was anonymous. Does this violate the 4th Amendment? Is it entrapment? Police are allowed to lie, see Frazier v. Cupp, 394 U.S. 731 (1969) (a United States Supreme Court case that affirmed the legality of deceptive interrogation tactics). Does this establish trust or hurt it? 🤔🧐👇🏽 Like this? Get more!

Nipsey and the Elephant in the Room: Black Death
Gangs. I feared them. Nipsey Hussle was an icon to many. But, he died violently at the hands of another black man who was arguably a fellow Rolling 60s Crip street gang member.

Nipsey’s Death is tragic, but so too is any persons death. Is the large outpouring of love for Nipsey a placebo for unity? Will we return to the very ...
