Shooting of Walter Scott
Walter Scott was a victim of police brutality. On April 4th, 2015, he was killed by a white cop in South Carolina. Fortunately, in December of 2017, he was sentenced to 20 years in jail. We can relate this to the book The Hate U Give because Khalil which was Starr’s best friend was killed by a policeman unfairly, and he wasn't even armed just like Walter Scott. This book may seem like fiction but this is a reality, a lot of people are killed on a daily basis by cops, in an unfair way. This case is some way different to Khalil´s story because the police officer that shot Khalil was declared as innocent.
