Police draw guns on 2 black kids riding bikes for "fitting the description" of suspects who committed a robbery
Cuffed, arrested, and fingerprinted!

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"
