#HandsUpDontShoot

#HandsUpDontShoot is a slogan and movement highlighting concerns about police violence and racial biases, particularly against Black communities. It originated from a 2014 incident in Ferguson, Missouri, where an unarmed Black teenager, Michael Brown, was fatally shot by police. The phrase symbolizes a stance against excessive force and calls for accountability, emphasizing that individuals should not be perceived as threats simply based on their race. It has become a broader rallying cry for justice, police reform, and increased awareness of racial disparities in law enforcement practices.
