happening, constant threats against BLACK FOLKS, including ME, as a black woman I KNOW FIRST HAND WHAT'S HAPPENING. My brother who's was an Army recruiter & was stationed in Sierra Vista, AZ, was LITERALLY pulled over EVERY FUCKING SINGLE MORNING on his way to work @ the base & every evening ONE HIS WAY HOME!
The LOCAL IMMIGRATION & POLICE were threatened by the commander with REALLY bad outcomes if they did it ONE MORE TIME, ffs & another one of my brothers was pulled out of his OWN CAR, parked IN FRONT OF HIS OWN HOME by police who tried to claimed that he had ridden Sacramento light rail without paying, (he'd driven to school, work & then home).
My "father" was arrested because he supposedly fit the description of a robbery suspect. He'd been on his way to pick up my Grandmother from LAX. Guess what? My father is a fairly dark skinned, 6'5.5" in height & was lanky at the time. The suspect? Yeah, well, he was about 5'10", at most, stocky, BALD & YELLOW AF! Not only that. The robbery suspect was driving a stolen blue early 70's Mustang & my father was driving a light green Ambassador Station wagon. So, there's that...
When he asked what was happening & why, they told him that he "fit the physical description of someone who had been reported as stealing a ride, (EVEN THOUGH HE WAS DRIVING & HAD BEEN NOWHERE NEAR A LIGHTRAIL STATION). they literally THREW HIM TO THE GROUND & placed their knees in his back!
So, excuse me if I see nefarious potentiality in this situation. It may very well be that he took his own life but from my own personal experience, this needs to be REALLY looked at...PERIOD!
