Among those who have reported being harassed: a ride-share driver stopped for not wearing a seat belt despite having one on as she drove a passenger to the airport; a pastor pulled over for looking lost as she left a church gathering; and, in a case of mistaken identity, a 72-year-old man roused from bed and marched out of his apartment while clad in only his robe and underwear.

None of these people were ultimately ticketed or arrested.


:damn:

ANY interaction between black people and the police is more likely to go left or end in the death a black person than any other race interacting with police. The fact that no one was arrested is the best outcome, but I think most black people would love to avoid the interaction altogether, if possible.

I think I finally understand why our great grands didn’t crack heads like we talk about we would have in their position

Imagine yourself in this scenario. They can hem you up and send you to another country with no due process. Now your family gotta basically just beg the government to go save you. That’s crazy.

But they said "iT wOuLdN'T hApPeN tO uS" yet here we are again in a whole different city and state. :mjpls:

It's not happening to "us." They aren't asking if they're from Orange Mound or Frayser, they're asking about countries that have absolutely nothing to do with FBA. So I'd answer "no" and keep it moving. It's the tethers who have to scramble.

The police asking you a question is not harassment.
Just say you p*ssy and would respond with yes and no sir

I would have answered them in a Michael Blackson accent, maddasucker
Don't these fakkits get bonuses for captures? What happens if they waste time and bring in a citizen. Sue the agency and get mofo written up
