T.I. speaks out on police brutality

Last month, CNN interviewed T.I, where the Grammy-winning rapper and actor premiered his latest passion project, "Us or Else" A short film that examines the relationship between police and the black community. President Donald Trump slammed the Black Lives Matter movement as a candidate, lamented a "war on police" and accused the group of helping to instigate police shootings through their protests and rallies against police brutality. T.I., who participated in Black Lives Matter protests, has been one of Trump's most outspoken critics in hip-hop, most recently slamming the President in a series of colorful insults on Instagram following Trump's feud with rapper Snoop Dogg. The rapper also wrote a series of open letters in December to Obama and to Trump in January, and a letter advocating for civil engagement addressed to Americans. I think that Donald Trump needs to give more attention on black lives being killed by Police because they are just as human as police are too.
