A Muslim man was being harassed by a Metropark police officer so a Mexican man started recording. As the Muslim Man walked away the officer says "GO BACK TO WHERE YOU COME FROM"

His son heard something & said something ✊🏾

THIS RACIST OFFICER NEEDS TO BE FIRED

RETWEET

Due to Twitter down and people having trouble seeing this tweet, I decided to Repost it.

Two victims of Trump's brutal immigration policies coming together to protect one another.

THIS IS WHAT HAVING EACH OTHER'S BACKS. THIS IS WHAT SOLIDARITY LOOKS LIKE.

(Also if you don't know a Muslim or have a Muslim friend you do now. follow me)

IT IS NOT ENOUGH THAT THIS OFFICER WAS SUSPENDED. HE NEEDS TO BE FIRED... ILL GO FURTHER AND SAY CRIMINALLY CHARGED.

This officer is trying to save face saying that he meant "GO BACK TO ILLINOIS" We all know what he really meant! Overt racism and xenophobia.

Had they not recorded or said something, this racism would have gone unchecked and unnoticed.

Salute the father and his son. The epitome of what standing together looks like.

You don't have to be part of a marginalized group to speak up and say something. Say something because being silent is being complicit.
