Police draw guns on 2 black kids riding bikes for "fitting the description" of suspects who committed a robbery

Cuffed, arrested, and fingerprinted!

Turns out they were just kids riding bikes

Imagine the everlasting trauma this will have on them the rest of their lives! 💔
This is racial profiling people and we spend 115 billion of our tax dollars on this a year!

Police are only here to feed the prison industrial complex and control the black and brown population in this country!

Some of y’all really need to get a grip on what’s really going on.
A reminder that taking black slaves who freed themselves back to the plantations is how policing started in this country.

White people commit the most crimes in this country

But when have you ever heard of guns being drawn at white kids for "fitting the description"

It does not happen!

This 21 y/o Pakistani Muslim girl was attacked in her driveway unloading groceries from the car with her mom in Long Island, New York!

A unknown man threw Acid in her face and ran!

She might never regain her sight again and she can’t eat solid food a month later.

FUCK AMERICA! ImageImage
Her name is Nafiah. This is her Go-fund me.

I’m so angry! 😭

Don’t forget South Asian brothers and sisters in your call against anti Asian hate.

This could’ve been any of my 4 sisters. She’s the only child of her parents with a whole life ahead of her. 😭

How could anyone do this to someone? 💔😭

It’s the hatred for foreigners, people of color, and Muslims that is taught here.

She didn’t deserve this. Nobody does.

“No they're not humans, they are Muslims”.

An Egypt American Muslim woman was attacked by a vile racist white woman while she was shopping with her husband at a Walgreens in Florida.

Watch how the energy changes at the end!

MAKE HER FAMOUS SO SHE HELD TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS!
Look at the heart of our Muslim brother,

Whether or not her apology was genuine, he still forgives her. That is ISLAM and that man is A MUSLIM

(Also I’m a Muslim. If you don’t know a Muslim or have a friend that is, u do now. Diversify your following. You might learn something)
This ending was glorious. This is all we are asking of the system- To be just and to protect.

But this moment does not reflect the reality of policing in America.

I can appreciate this cop in this moment but I know better than to think everything is ok.

This is how hard it is to buy a gun in Japan...

This is brilliant, and should be the benchmark for gun ownership in America.

Retweet if you agree
The only people disagreeing with this obviously couldn’t pass it

White Males especially couldn’t pass step 2 🥴

In a uncivilized society, THIS IS NECESSARY

AMERICA IS UNCIVILIZED

(Also if u don’t know a Muslim, follow. Diversify your following. You might learn something ❤️🙏🏾)
OH and WE NEED THIS FOR POLICE OFFICERS TOO!

So long as they exist

How fast the “justice” system works when the perpetuators of a certain crime is a person of color.

She’s facing more time than Breonna Taylor’s killers who are still FREE after an entire year of asking for JUSTICE!

20 years?! THIS IS NOT JUSTICE!
Brock Tuner raped a woman while she was unconscious. HE GOT 6 MONTHS.

It took them 2 months to arrest Ahmaud Aubrey’s killers.

Kylie Rittenhouse is walking FREE after murdering 2 people at a BLM protest.

Officer who killed Botham Jean got 10 years.

I could go on and on man...
She’s a horrible human being and she needs to be held accountable for her actions but 20 years is CAP!
