The San Diego City Council is set to vote on an $875,000 settlement for Marcus Evans, who suffered severe injuries from bean bag rounds fired by police.

Do you think the police were justified in their actions?!? #BlackSky

I've never seen this video before nor knew people didn't realize who really sung this! This has to be one of the few examples where a dark-skinned woman was used to replace a lighter one! 😳

I always wondered what was behind this. One of only a handful of instances were a darker skinned Black woman is used as the face over a lighter skinned Black person.
