about

On June 27, 2022 Jayland Walker was stopped by police for a broken tail light. He took off, led police on a several mile chase, fired a shot into the highway pavement, drew fire once he pulled his car over and was killed in a hail of over 90 gunshots. On the one year anniversary of that sad and tragic event, this song/video was released. We must talk about this... There are many ways this could have been handled. Killing him was not one of them.
