A grand jury has reportedly made the decision to decline to indict Officer Daniel Pantaleo, the man who put Eric Garner in a chokehold on a Staten Island sidewalk, in the 43-year-old’s death, according to CNN.
As tensions rise across the country, rapper Azalea Banks took to Twitter to call out Australian rival Iggy Azalea.

Azalea Banks’ tweets come in the midst of ongoing racist claims surrounding Iggy Azalea. The “Black Widow” rapper had previously been called a racist after a Twitter post made back in February.
“Is it wrong I feel happy to hear southern accents again & not mexican ones? F*** it. Iam,” tweeted Iggy Azalea. “The New Classic” hitmaker took to Twitter to respond to Azalea Banks’ tweets.
Theres more to sparking a change than trolling on social media. World issues shouldnt be used as a poor excuse to promote fan battles. — IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) December 4, 2014
Make sure you do something to let YOUR government know how you feel when something is unjust., not JUST your followers on twitter...
