Over 300 Americans Killed By Police enforcement this year

According to a Washington Post analysis, the 385 victims amount to more than two people getting killed a day by those who are supposed to protect and serve -- and unfortunately, officials say the count is incomplete. The Washington Post's statistics show that of those killed, almost 50% were White, while the other half were minorities and the age range of people killed the most was between 25 and 34. In all, the death ages range from 16 to 83. Dozens died while trying to flee police, and 1 in 6 of those killed were unarmed or carried a toy gun.

To put this into perspective, UK police have only killed 52 people within the past 100 years, according to The Free Thought Project. Share your thoughts about the absurd number of Americans killed this year by the cops below.

Tyga Reacts to Criticism Over "The Gold Album" Sales

Tyga recently released his latest project, "The Gold Album," on Spotify, SoundCloud, and YouTube for free due to his conflicts with YMCMB, so the rapper was shocked that he was getting criticism over album sales. The L.A.-born emcee took to Twitter to respond to Complex writing a story about how Nielsen SoundScan showed the album selling a mere 2,200 copies. Tyga said that he didn't even intend to make money off of the project and added, "Yall mfs is funny. I put my album out myself for free on spotify,soundcloud, YouTube to stream. Didn't plan on selling it Kuz of label problems. It's a dope album. Got a lot of great feedback and millions of streams."

Big Hutch Disses Shyne

Shyne bashing Kendrick Lamar's highly respected album, good kid, m.A.A.d city, has rubbed many people the wrong way. Fellow West Coast rapper Game already stepped up in Kendrick's defense on Twitter not too long ago, and now Big Hutch of Above The Law has chosen to defend Kendrick as well. Hutch spoke to Yahoo Music about Shyne using Twitter to slay Kendrick's new album by calling it "trash" over and over again. Hutch didn't respect that one bit and feels as though it was a "cowardly" move. "I don't really get that. I don't get Twitter bashing, Twitter banging. We don't do that. I'm an ex-con. I thought he was an ex-con. That's how that man eat. That's how Kendrick Lamar eat. So, for you to publicly say something is trash, that's just a hater move. got no issue with Shyne, but I have issue with cats Twitter bangin'. At the end of the day, c'mon gangsta, do it the right way. Come to one of his shows...
