about 6-7 months ago i was sitting in my car smoking by dolores & i noticed three cop cars pull up behind me & a few cops on foot infront of me with their guns out. i was thinking something is about to go down like i’m about to witness some shit. then the flood lights shine in my
car and i hear a cop over the pa system tell me to put my hands out the window & exit my car slowly. in my head i’m like “all this for smoking”. so i come out & all i see are cops with their guns pointed at me & in that moment i’m like wtf is going on. so i get handcuffed
& i ask the cop what i’m being arrested for & he tells me “someone called saying you had a gun”. in the moment i knew i was gonna be okay cuz i’ve never carried a gun before. they searched my car & of course found nothing. they didn’t even confiscate my weed.
with all these police murdering black people & other POC, i keep thinking back to that day, if i was black or brown, i would’ve died. my skin color saved my life. i guarantee you if i was black i would’ve died. the police even apologized to me for the “inconvenience”
if you don’t think white privilege exists you need to wake the fuck up. this shit is real.innocent black & brown people are dying at the hands of police & if you make up an fucking excuse like “he/she should’ve listened to the police”you to go fuck yourself. they don’t care
i’m lucky to have gone home that night&seen my family the next day. many others didn’t get that privilege. we want justice for all the black & brown people murdered by police.we still want justice for Breonna Taylor. we want this shit to end. it’s always gonna be fuck the police
