Stevie Wonder, 12/3/14: Can you believe that within one month, two secret grand juries declined to indict two policemen for the killing of two Black men? I just dont understand that. Let me just say this also: I dont understand why a legal system would choose secrecy when theres so much mistrust of what theyre saying. I dont understand why there could not have been a public trial where we would be able to hear all sides...I just dont understand that. I tell you what I do understand. I heard Eric Garner say, with my own ears: I Cant Breathe. And as much as hes apologized, I dont understand why he [the policeman] did not stop...Ive heard politicians say, youve got all this black-on-black crime, but my feelings that guns are too accessible to everybody. I do understand that something is wrong, real wrong. And we as family, Americans, all of us of all colors, need to fix it with a quickness, real soon. I really love you, you know that. This is why this song unfortunately is still relevant today.....
