Unfortunately, Roger is one of many. Do you know the total sum of black servicemen who were sent to war for America just to come back home and lose their lives to police brutality or related race issues? Let me say it again, ftp. US AIR FORCE must be given reparations for their loss, as well as the family and loved ones.
