West Coast rap veteran Snoop Dogg has stepped forward to unload his personal frustrations with police brutality and the rising rate of white officers taking black people’s lives.
Snoop went to Instagram Thursday (July 7) and showed off the trend in recent years of innocent lives ending at the hands of law enforcement.
Various hip-hop artists have publicly addressed the slaying of Minnesota man Philando Castile this week.

Castile’s death went viral Wednesday (July 6) after his girlfriend livestreamed the shooting on Facebook.
In a Facebook video, Lavish Reynolds claims that the couple were pulled over in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area for a busted taillight and that her boyfriend, identified by WCCO as Philando Castile, was shot four or five times. She said that Castile told the officer he was carrying a permitted firearm and had been reaching for his wallet before the officer opened fire. (NY Daily News)
The murder came 24 hours after a white police officer took the life of Louisiana man Alton Sterling.
