| 2020-10-10 |
| [MAIL] Jay-Z has posted bond for the mother of 17-year-old Alvin Cole and several protesters who were arrested in Wisconsin on Thursday after authorities declined to charge the officer who fatally shot the teen. The star rapper and Team Roc, the social justice leg of Roc Nation, paid court fees for Tracy Cole and her daughters Taleavia, Tristiana and Tadudah. They also paid court fees for several others arrested at the Wauwatosa protest, CBS News reports. According to the group, Tracy was injured during the arrest, citing 'excessive force' from the police officers. 'Our hearts break for the family of Alvin Cole and the Wauwatosa community. Not only did the District Attorney's Office fail to hold Officer Joseph Mensah accountable for killing Alvin, but the local police also arrested and injured Alvin's mother Tracy and his sisters as they peacefully protested alongside Jacob Blake's father,' said Dania Diaz, executive director for Team Roc. |

| #4 Its a wonder Kamela wasn't able to name him as a living rapper. Too familiar with his contribution to culture; though I had not heard of the stabbing. |

| #3 ^JayZ was convicted for stabbing a record producer. He also supported Barak Obama's state and national elections as well as gay marriage. During 2012 he made $63 Million but never gives much to charity. |
