Philando Castile was shot dead by a police officer with the St. Anthony Village Police Department in Falcon Heights, Saint Paul, Minnesota after being pulled over with his girlfriend and her daughter for a broken tail light.

One day earlier in Louisiana, Alton Sterling, 37, was killed in a confrontation with two officers in Baton Rouge after police received a complaint about a man threatening others with a gun while selling CDs.

Both police unrelated incidents have became topics on social media among celebrities who are angered and frustrated about the deaths of black men at the hands of police in America.

The following day Jay Z released a song about police brutality titled Spiritual.

In a statement Jay Z said: ‘I made this song a year or so ago, I never got to finish it. Punch (TDE) told me I should drop it when Mike Brown died, sadly I told him, ‘this issue will always be relevant.

‘I’m hurt that I knew his death wouldn’t be the last…. I’m saddened and disappointed in THIS America – we should be further along. WE ARE NOT. I trust God and know everything that happens is for our greatest good, but man…. it’s touch right now. Blessings to all the families that have lost loved ones to police brutality.’

Fellow musician Chris Brown used Instagram to comment on the recent shootings, posting up a cover of The New York Daily News showing Sterling’s body with the message ‘His hands were empty’.
