Tyrese And Daughter Join Protest Against Police Killings

Over the weekends, the singer and his daughter joined protesters to march down Hollywood Boulevard in protest against the killings of black men by the police, especially the white police officers. He certainly walks the talk.

Tyrese and the other activist, marched while chanting "Black Lives Matter" and "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" in a peaceful protest called the "Blackout Hollywood". At an intersection, they staged a die-in, with everyone lying on the ground for four minutes thirty seconds to represent the the time that Mike Brown, the young black man who was shot and killed by a white police officer in Ferguson, laid in the street after he was shot before being transported to the hospital.

He later took to his Instagram to post:

''Today we made a statement – in this life it’s not about ONLY taking a stand for the things that effect you directly – it’s about taking a stand on behalf of “Humanity”…. I can’t rest until things are different – today we marched a multi ethnic March on behalf of peace and integrity – if you don’t stand for something you will fall for anything – safety in our communities and the belief in the “system” needs to be restored – the power in numbers was displayed today. As comfortable as one would assume I am – I am very uncomfortable cause I have a daughter and we ALL deserve to feel safe……. We don’t call 911 to BE murdered we call them to protect us from being murdered- this needs to change-''

A lot of the black celebrities are condemning all these senseless killings and more of them have to speak up too, but thumps up to Tyrese for doing this.
