Over the last few days, many artists have used their platform to voice their thoughts and feelings on the senseless acts of violence that have occurred over the last week in Louisiana, Minnesota and Dallas. Among them, Questlove, Butch Walker, Ryan Adams, John Legend, Robert Randolph (who noted he bought three cops breakfast and was on his way to speak with pastors), St. Vincent and many others who expressed the sorrow and pain that came with these events. 

Not included below is Run the Jewels’ Killer Mike, as there simply wouldn’t be enough space to include all of his thoughts. Mike has held a week-long conversation about the events on his Twitter account, which is readily available to read and will surely continue. 

Read below at other messages from Twitter. 

How Many More? #AltonSterling

Wow. I’m so sad for the ignorance of some of the mouthpieces in/for this Country. https://t.co/kELTcY1sBJ

The other Joe Walsh is actually a really nice guy, btw

Man. Getting off the Twitter for a whole day and then seeing all this sadness and negativity. We are so fucked… We need a hard reset..

Alton Sterling. Philando Castile. Dallas police officers. Countless others. Tragic and horrifying and preventable deaths.
— St. Vincent (@st_vincent) July 8, 2016

Idea:
Stop fucking killing people
JUST STOP
Everyone

There’s so much to do here.
Stop it.
Please.

If you don’t see the never-ending murder of Black Americans at the hands of police as a problem, you are the problem. When does it end?

Being against cops killing is not equal to being for killing cops. We need peace in our streets.

It’s a strange perspective to view so much sad news today from another country. At a loss for adequate words.
