Many celebrities have been vocal about the mass shooting at Douglas High School in Parkland, FL, and rapper Snoop Dogg decided to join in on the debate.

The hip-hop mogul posted a video to Instagram on Thursday and gave some suggestions to President Trump on gun laws and tips on making schools safer.

“One thing I want to say is that I feel like schools should be protected”, Snoop explained. “We have enough law enforcement that do nothing but ride around and look for ni**as to arrest and harass motherfu**ers. You can put them in front of the schools.”

The “Beautiful” rapper went into depth about the different safety measures that are present in predominantly Black schools and maybe the government should institute the same tools in other schools.

“You could also have metal detectors at schools like that do in the hood schools… That’s why you don’t hear about no shootings at the hood schools because we take provisions and make sure that kind of s**t don’t happen.”

As the conversation continues to circulate around the controversial topic of gun control and methods to reduce school shootings, Snoop relays what matters most is “kids are supposed to be safe.”

The West coast rapper wrapped up the video with a few last words for Trump. “This is just Snoop Dogg sending some you know suggestions to the president. Hopefully, the motherfu**er will listen.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
