From Michael Brown to Eric Garner, it seems as if a war has raged between Black citizens and law enforcement. With protestors being pelted with rubber bullets and tear gassed as they excercise their constitutional right to protest in Ferguson, Mo, the Black community is speaking out about police brutality.  “Love & Hip Hop” star Yandy Smith shared her thoughts on the treatment Black people are facing in the hands of law enforcement.

“It’s a sad day when the people who are supposed to protect us become our enemies,” Yandy said. She went on to tell us exactly how she felt about brutality and why it needs to be addressed immediately. Check out her video above.
