#MyBloombergStory

My friends & I (17/18 yrs old) were walking into Riverside Park, next to Columbia University. We heard someone scream: "HEY!"

I didn't turn around. "HEY" isn't my name. One of my less street smart friends did. THANK GOD.

It was a cop w his gun drawn at us. I quickly raised my hands, so did my boy. My other boy, a bit ahead of us, did not raise his hands. He was nervous. He reached into his pocket to try and show the police where his ID was. The cop proceeded to point his gun at my friend's spine. "PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR"

My friends and I were stopped & frisked at gunpoint thanks to Mike Bloomberg's racist policing policies.

He led a campaign of terror to ensure POC knew we could be jumped by police any time.

The rights of an entire generation were violated.

His record is his record.

PERIOD. This isn't about a leaked tape of Bloomberg being racist.

It's Bloomberg's record of racist policies.

It's POC screaming at you to recognize the reality we lived under Bloomberg's #NYC

*Screaming* that someone who abused their power in this way shouldn't receive more of it.
