Your heroes serving and protecting you for little black grandmas.
It gets buried in the penny-ante-outrage bull**** news cycles of the day, but what ICE is doing--in line with the mentality of the carceral state and the acceptance of the private prison industry--is genuinely terrifying. I try not to throw these terms around lightly, but it is Gestapo-esque.
Reform ICE. Reform the cops in your local community. Elect reformers to DA and prosecutorial positions and appoint better people. Free non-violent drug offenders.
This kid is probably going to be ok because his case got national attention and attracted heavy-hitting lawyers. How many others are there...non-citizens and citizens alike who get railroaded like this? Stop incentivizing locking people up.

Here is the story of Rakem Balogun. He is an IT worker who has been targeted for surveillance for 3 years. His crimes? Protesting police brutality. Advocating for rights of black gun owners. Feeding the homeless. Youth pick nicks and self defense classes. He spends 5 months behind bars living like a dog as the government argues he is too dangerous to be let out on bail. 5 months later the trumped up charge falls through because he did nothing illegal and he is released. This man too dangerous for bail now living peacefully in the community. Lost his job. Lost his home. Lost his car. Son had to move. Missed 5 months of his infant daughters life. Clear case of malicious prosecution. 3 years the FBI has been hanging on this guys every word and cant come up with **** but ignore the Parkland shooter. Why? Because they care far more about people who might go after cops because they protect and serve their own. This didnt start under Trump. This started under Obama. While Clueless James Comey was giving speeches about improving race relations and how theres no proof of a law enforcement bias against blacks this surveillance was starting up. This guy was the first to be targeted under the Black Identity Threat **** so I find it hard to believe Comey wasnt involved in some way.
My best bud growing up is a cop.
He refuses to arrest anyone smoking or having it on their person up to a certain point, then he confiscate the rest, smoke it for himself and his other buds.
Now if you packing pounds to intend to sell, he cant just ignore that, he will arrest you. He is following my old grand paps when he was the main policeman in town. He confiscate weed and give it to the elderly who couldn't afford it, the moonshine goes to the family, like me and my dad, other contraband to folks who need it. He said and don't laugh, too much paperwork. No one is arrested, they go on their merry way. Now meth, he will arrest you and bring in the county or state and they will deal with you. He said that effs up people and family.
We need more police like my paps (rest in peace) and my best friend who did not see eye to eye because of the run-ins but he told me my paps never arrested him and just talk and he said if he ever was a cop he wanted to be like him.....understanding.
If you lived in my part of the country, smoke weed like it was going out of style and they won't touch you as you are minding your own business and not affecting anyone else.
We blacks know the deal, don't eff with us, we won't eff with you.
