This season on Somebody, and so every black person in this country must rise up and say I'm somebody. I have a rich, proud and noble history, however painful and exploded. It has been approximate round two fifteen am, I received a thunderous beat on my door. Cover up happens after the first day or so, but in the beginning you get the truth. I was working in the emergency room. I remember a call coming on the radio, so it was a gunshot victim, and I remember him specifically being

handcuffed to the bed. My theory is that the gang bangers, the police, everybody is a suspect until they rule themselves out. I have to see the video in order to rule them out. And though there was a shooting movie here right in front of the rectory, in the middle of the conversation, they said, you killed my cousin, and they punched me in the face. Y'all we're talking to Hilp me 'all were talking to hip me. We're talking to y'all, Lord,

what did you say? I'm a chance to wrap, you know, walking in the room and seeing all these familiar faces, just like realizing like that that somebody had taken him. It was just hard for me to to deal with that ship there the last few moments is right here. I believe that somebody knows something and it just takes a lot of courage to tell what they saw.
