00:03
Imagine if you had an institution
00:04
where it was almost impossible to be held accountable.
00:08
What happened with the police, Mimi?
00:10
Scared of them?
00:11
[MUSIC PLAYING]
00:14
No mother should have to bury their child.
00:19
Amir Locke was killed in a botched,
00:22
no-knock warrant situation.
00:25
I saw the body cam footage.
00:27
He snuffing this man out as he slept.
00:31
Now we stand here dealing with another murder
00:33
of a young black man.
00:36
How these cops operate in this country
00:39
has been America's dirty secret.
00:41
We're in a country of fearing black people,
00:44
rooted all the way back into slavery.
00:46
There seems to be two forms of policing in America,
00:49
one for white America and another for black America.
00:54
As a young police officer, you begin
00:56
to paint the community a certain way.
00:59
You don't even realize it before you're actually acting upon it.
01:02
The officer has the right to arrest.
01:04
And if you fight back, they put a hole in your chest.
01:07
Black people were accused falsely of things.
01:09
They were randomly picked up.
01:10
They were subject to police brutality.
01:14
That's the sound of the police.
01:16
You're the jury.
01:17
I am the defendant.
01:18
I'm guilty.
01:19
Not guilty.
01:19
Enough is enough.
01:22
The police kill 1,100 people a year,
01:25
but the highest number of convictions ever is 11 people.
01:30
I can't FaceTime with my son, but can an officer
01:33
still FaceTime with his?
01:35
All I have is memories.
01:38
That's the sound of the police.
01:39
The Kim took the veil off of the brutality
01:43
that people were facing.
01:44
That's the sound of the police.
01:48
I think about Amir every day.
01:51
Because of the color of his skin,
01:53
he didn't have a chance.
01:55
He was someone's son.
01:57
He was my son.
01:59
That's the sound of the police.
