Part 1:
Title of the song: (41 Shots) https://youtu.be/aQMqWAiWPMs
Artist: Bruce Springsteen
Genre: Rock
Summary: This song was written and inspired after the police shooting of Amadou Diallo. Bruce expresses his feelings and emotions towards police brutality. In his lyrics he explains how you can get killed for simply having "American Skin".
What the lyrics are trying to explain to us are that we can lose our lives simply by the misjudgment of a police officer. He also explains how a police officer will shoot you with them having no feeling or emotion. In the lyrics he also brings up the point that we should not run from police because it can cause our lives.
Part 2: Bruce Springsteen created this song after Amadou Diallo was gunned down by policemen in New York. Amadou was a Guinean immagrant who was shot after mistaking his wallet for a gun. Springsteen felt that the shooting was a bad shooting and a unreasonable raction by the police who shot down an innocent man.
I personally believe that Bruce Springsteen is a credible source towards Police Brutality. We should take him seriously because after the death of Trayvon Martin, Bruce paid a tribute to him and asked for justice for Trayvon.
Bruce personally created this song and gave all his respect towards the death of Amadou Diallo.
