Beyonce Calls On Fans To Fight Police Officers Before Dallas Shooting This week, Americans were heartbroken as they confronted the loss of five police officers that were shot dead in Dallas during a Black Lives Matter protest on Thursday. As it turns out, just hours before the shooting, singer Beyonce called on her fans to rise up and fight injustice in police officers. This is just one of the heightened racial messages that she has published this year. Read the message below that Beyonce posted on her website in response to the police shootings of Alton Sterling and Philandro Castile: We are sick and tired of the killings of young men and women in our communities. It is up to us to take a stand and demand that they stop killing us. We dont need sympathy. We need everyone to respect our lives. Were going to stand up as a community and fight against anyone who believes that murder or any violent action by those who are sworn to protect us should consistently go unpunished. These robberies of lives make us feel helpless and hopeless but we have to believe that we are fighting for the rights of the next generation, for the next young men and women who believe in good. This is a human fight. No matter your race, gender or sexual orientation. This is a fight for anyone who feels marginalized, who is struggling for freedom and human rights. This is not a plea to all police officers but toward any human being who fails to value life. The war on people of color and all minorities needs to be over. Fear is not an excuse. Hate will not win. We all have the power to channel our anger and frustration into action. We must use our voices to contact the politicians and legislators in our districts and demand social and judicial changes. While we pray for the families of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, we will also pray for an end to this plague of injustice in our communities.
