We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you this special news broadcast.
What you are about to see is graphic in nature, but it is not new.
Only a continuation of yesterday’s news.
This will probably also be tomorrow’s news too.
Today, another black body was killed.
We have the footage here.
If you listen closely you can hear him saying “I can’t breathe”
“I need my inhaler”
“It’s just my phone”
“Please don’t shoot”
“Don’t shoot”
“Don’t shoot”
“Don’t shoot”
The internet is in an uproar calling for another protest.
Calling out the politicians.
Going unheard.
After all those are the 99%’s problems.
We got 99 problems and all of them were caught on camera.
I swear one day this gon be a 60 Minutes special.
Here come the hashtags.
Here come the poems, please hold all the art until further notice.
If you wait until tomorrow you’ll have another name to weave into your work.
And we have more footage like this in the archives.
More murders caught on camera, more thoughts and prayers instead of changes, but I guess if it ain’t broke you don’t fix it right?
You know paid suspension don’t fix it right?
We both know how this story will end.
This happens so often we won’t be outraged for too long.
We’ll go back to our regularly scheduled programming.
Change the channel.
Put on a football game and try to ignore the irony in that.
Anything to clear the air of static.
Anything to drown out the sound of a final breath.
This has been a special broadcast.
We will have more on this developing story at 7.
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.
