"Police brutality has been an issue of racism for decades upon decades. The current invention of smartphones has made the issue more widely known, but Black Americans have cried out about this issue for decades.

Photographer Trevor Wentt won 2nd place at IPA Photo Awards with this portrait back in 2017. A message that unfortunately is still very relevant in today's turbulent times.
