On a cold February night, Bronx, New York was given the reprehensible news that New York resident, Amadou Diallo was murdered by local police force. Supposedly approached for the resemblance of a serial rapist on the loose, the conflict began once Diallo reached for his wallet (Juzwiak and Chan).

New Yorkers and Americans alike were stunned by the latest occurrence of violence.
