Fire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres!
What white people don’t understand (or maybe do understand and don’t care) is that if someone Black like me
who’s never even smoked a cigarette in his life gets targeted by cops and ‘flaked’ (cops plant drugs on me),
then I won’t take a plea deal, will pay for bail, will pay for a lawyer until the charges are finally dismissed while they
continue to do this to countless others who look like me who might’ve smoked a cigarette or more and who cannot
afford bail and who might cop a plea deal, gaining a record. The thing about a record is that someone like me
could no longer teach CHILDREN chess in school or out. Schools often check to see if you have a record of ANY kind.
But in either scenario, the white cops from elsewheres bypass justice. And if they are fired, they’re rehired elsewheres with a strong police union and a Gofundme to boot.
Unless they’re Black like Cariol Horne. Then the union disappears, and so does her pension after working 19 years
and with no Gofundme for doing the right thing and keeping a brutalizing white cop from choking out
yet another Black man while he’s in handcuffs, she’s stuck driving a truck to support her family.
Fortunately now, her case has garnered more attention, but there are so many good cops like Cariol Horne (Black and white)
who are punished or fired while the white cops from elsewheres who brutalize, flake and hashtag are
often made heads of their departments! Fire ALL of the white cops from elsewheres!
It’s like I’m talking to myself here...
