A few mo. back a young Black guy crashed a bike. I got emergency services on the scene while another civilian medic tried unsuccessfully to revive him. I stuck around to give a witness statement. Later found out later the police didnât communicate any of it to his family.
The police officer that was supposed to be taking my statement didnât make eye contact with me and didnât write down a word I said. He only wrote down my name after I insisted.
While trying to get an ambulance there the operator was like âpolice are on the wayâ and I couldnât help but yell âwe donât need their assesâwe need qualified personnelâ and I stand by that. The cops were only intimidating and unhelpful. They did nothing to help
The only reason I ever found out that the family was in the dark is because a person I know also knows the kids dad. Iâm glad that whenever theyâre ready for answers I can be there to provide that.
I left hella typos in this. Iâm just still so furious about it. The pain of the experience has faded, but the rage at the deliberate neglect and disregard for a young persons life displayed that day wonât leave.
When we say Black Lives Matter this is what we also mean. Yes, the police didnât kill him, but they nevertheless treated his life as something that doesnât matter. They didnât see their own son in him, they saw something else. Something w no weight. What exactly, I donât know
Iâm tired. Iâm sad. Iâm angry.
We could be treated like humans and instead weâre continually treated like dirt. and for what? For fuckin existing.

Iâll be honest: I hate having to continue talking about the violence and actions of mediocre white men
I want to talk about wildlife and make jokes. Instead Iâm consumed by the neverending carnival of psychological torture that is the United States of Ass in the 21st century

Ask yourselves: How can a country call itself great if it can only sustain itself by cannibalizing itâs populace?
