Background

The song was released in the United States on August 27, 2014.[2] A number of other songs came out soon after the furor over the shooting of Michael Brown and perceived similar incidents, such as "Be Free" by J. Cole and "Black Rage" by Lauryn Hill. "Don't Shoot" mentions other black men killed under notorious circumstances, such as Emmett Till, Ezell Ford, Trayvon Martin, and Sean Bell.[3]

gollark: You know what's a mess? English plurals.
gollark: I think we still kind of have that in basically all modern memory - the intersection of the cell, row and column or whatever gets written to.
gollark: Wouldn't it be memory graphene then?
gollark: Probably others.
gollark: You would just want elements with lots of stable isotopes and a regular structure, so carbon, silicon, germanium.
