WHITE COPS ARE RACISTS AND ABUSIVE TOWARDS PEOPLE OF COLOR

This is a part of an article I found in Harvard Review. When I was twelve, on a chilly Saturday night in late summer 1998, my mom was working her regular shift. Around nine o’clock in the evening, a bunch of teenagers — all white or white-passing — wanted to play a game of hide and seek. They invited me to play. Why not? Hide and seek in a trailer park is interesting. Kids would climb up and hide on the roofs of trailers, behind the skirts of trailers, and in the sprawling green space that consisted of two trees and a couple of bushes.

The owner of one of the trailers called the police. They complained that someone was on top of their roof. The police showed up, which is to say the white police showed up. Rounded all of us into the street. There were about twenty-five of us — I was the youngest of the group, but cops tend to age Black kids by several years. I was the only Black kid. The cops singled me out, accused me of attempting to rob a home, and roughed me up. They threw me against their patrol car. I remember the pressure one officer put on the back of my neck as he pushed my head against the hood, yelling, “Don’t move!” My face opened up as it hit the metal of the car, with blood flowing from my nose and mouth. The other officer did a pat-down search. After they found nothing, they cuffed me and threw me in the back of a cop car. They said the most horrific things to me. Every other word out of their mouths was the N-word, usually followed by some threat — to hurt me, to imprison me, to kill me. The cops drove me around for about an hour. It felt like forever. I was bloodied up, crying, and could not stop thinking about my mom. I let her down. I should have stayed home that night. She was going to be upset with me not only because I got in trouble but also because the cops, in roughing me up, ripped my jeans. Those jeans my brother needed to wear the next day for church. Fortunately, I made it home that night. Bloodied. Beaten. REPORT TO INTERNAL AFFAIRS ALL PEOPLE NEED TO GET ANGRY AND START BITCHING OUT INTERNAL AFFAIRS!! THE MORE PEOPLE THE BETTER!!!

I'M SHOWING THE FOLLOWING VIDEO AS AN EXAMPLE OF MANY COPS WHO HAVE ATTITUDES AND RACIST POWER TRIP PROBLEMS AGAINST PEOPLE OF COLOR!! IT'S MY SUGGESTION TO START VIDEO AND AUDIO TAPING ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT BECAUSE THEY ARE THREATENING PEOPLE TOO MUCH AND ABUSING PEOPLE TOO MUCH ESPECIALLY PEOPLE OF COLOR! 

Recently I have been noticing on YOUTUBE since TRUMP has stirred the pot of RACISM, numerous cops are threatening people at home. You do NOT HAVE TO ANSWER THE DOOR TO COPS. Look out the window and speak to them from the window. If they demand you open the door ask them to see a search warrant? If they refuse, then refuse them back and start videotaping everything. Never give your ID to a cop and record everything, especially their faces, call INTERNAL AFFAIRS IMMEDIATELY!!! IT'S TIME TO TAKE A STAND AGAINST THE ABUSE!!!
