Long Beach youth explain why they're afraid of police

In the days after teenager Michael Brown was killed by police in Ferguson, Missouri, people started talking about the militarization of police and officers' harassment of young people of color. While conversations around law enforcement practices swing according to political orientation, one reality has stayed constant for black youth: fear. It doesn’t help that often citizens of color are often targeted, harassed or attacked with no provocation towards the police. "[It's] clear that we still live in a country that targets youth of color. All this only confirms my beliefs that as a young man of color I will always carry a bull’s-eye on my back." Long Beach youth explain their fear of police, on VoiceWaves.
