The Staten Island grand jury failed to indict the white police officer, Daniel Pantaleo who had caused the death of an unarmed black man, Eric Garner as a result of a chokehold applied on him
In response to the grand jury’s decision, Diddy took to his Instagram account to express his mind and tell his 4.5 million followers how he felt. Read his message below:
#WATCH …….I can’t take it anymore! It’s Enough, and enough is enough! Honestly my emotions are all over the place. We as artists, myself included, all have to step up and be better leaders in our communities. It’s a hard burden to bear, but we have been chosen whether we like it or not. We need to do whatever we can in a POSITIVE way, to help unite people of all colors in this injustice! In order to be successful, it is very important that we have a well ORGANIZED, STRATEGIC plan. This is super important in order for us to make change!! REAL organization, REAL strategy and a TRUE commitment to not forget and move on like we usually do when the news stops reporting. This has to stop and we as a people are the only ones that can stop it. I truly do not have the right to preach, but I do have the right to speak. #EricGarner #MikeBrown #UNITE
