All my tweets deleted. So here’s the short version of what happened/how I feel. It literally doesn’t matter if you comply or not as a Black person you can easily become the next hashtag. Unfortunately it’s that simple. I complied by walking back to the other side to exercise my
First amendment right and was still targeted and arrested from behind. Could have easily been a shot in the back like countless others. The cop who arrested me did the same thing they did to @theestallion trying to play red light, green light until I yelled that I’m not gonna
Move unless his instructions are clear because I’m not giving you a reason to shoot me. I watched a Black police officer who was by me the entire time I was walking double down and decide not to protect me, though he saw his fellow officer (with a blue lives matter mask) come and
Put handcuffs on me while I was unaware and caught off guard. I was lied on by the white officer that I wasn’t complying. Put into conditions that were unsanitary af for a pandemic and a department who has millions in funding. Experienced a woman who was mentally unstable and
Had NO reason to be in an institution like that. I was the last person processed while people were being bonded out and the darkest person in my cell. If this white woman hadn’t advocated for me I would’ve probably been the last person bonded out and left in the cell alone.
But the most eye opening part was I wasn’t concerned for me. I saw how easy it was for them to create an excuse to kill me, like if I would’ve reacted bad from being pulled from behind. Because anyone who knows me knows I’m funny about people behind me my first initial reaction
Was to hit whoever was touching me but that could’ve easily escalated. But I wasn’t scared I actually just felt sad and connected to the many people who have lost their lives over nothing. It doesn’t matter if you comply because they still decide at the end of the day whether
They WANT you to go to jail, not if you actually DESERVE to go. I felt for men and women who have been dealing with shitty police in the hood and have grown a real hatred for cops. Fuck 12 hits a little harder now. And I felt for the innocent people like Korey Wise who stepped
Into a police station and had no idea they wouldn’t come out for YEARS later. It wasn’t about me though I appreciate the White people who stood by my side and went to jail for me. It just shows how the police do nothing but protect and serve themselves. We were denied our
First amendment right after 7 minutes of being out there. The police officer lied on (multiple) cameras about whether I was detained or arrested, never read our rights, never granted us a phone call. Stuck for hours in a cell with about 12 other women in unsafe conditions for a
Pandemic. This experience gave me more fuel to wanting to change this system. I knew how broken it was but now I FEEL how broken it is. Defunding is one step but @HooverPD deserves to be shut down and start completely over. We don’t need more criminals on the streets.
@HooverPD is the biggest gang in this city. Show the drone arrest footage from Tuesday and how y’all snuck behind multiple people to arrest them as they complied. Because don’t y’all always say “iF oNlY tHEy dIdnT bReAK tHe lAw..”
Here’s a diagram one of the white men who got arrested defending me made - I’m the red X.
We gotta stop accepting these performative ass actions that create no justice in the streets. FUCK @HooverPD I’ll see y’all again and in court boo
