OUR COMMON GROUND

Did you catch Kendrick Lamar halftime SB? During Katrina over 6 Black citizens were killed and more injured my New Orleans Police officers as they tried to get over the Danzinger bridge fleeing in the storm.

This was this part of the performance was about. The Danziger Bridge shooting during Hurricane Katrina did happen in New Orleans. The more you know !❣
And no review of the performance that I have seen even mentioned it. #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackMastodon #SuperBowl

I correct myself. It has been a long time ago since this incident.

It wasn't State troopers, it was the New Orleans police officers.

@JaniceOCG Also not sure where you got the thirty from? Is that an overall number of people killed by police during Katrina?

@PalmAndNeedle
I stand corrected 6 unarmed killed and more civilians injured. Five officers were charged and indicted by
