Victim of running while black in a rich neibourhood
Full 3 squad cars get on the floor guns drawn (i was 14) they called my friends dad a 3am to verify i had been in his house (after i had nothing on me)
They almost did not give me a ride back
Other time was 1:30 hour detention for a routine subway-bicycle ticket. Kept on questionning me "you're haitian han?" "Why did you write you last name here without a dash when you're card has a - in between?"
rat bastards
Not a pleasant experience, but the police were only doing what they are paid to do, unlike my dopey friend who told me he wasn't carrying
But it's when they blatantly take one side over another that I get pissed.
Black vs White, rich vs poor...
I was cuffed and in the car because I was the one on a pushbike and the other guy was the one driving a new Jag. My trick is to be charming, polite and cooperative and coerce them into my view... with a little intelligence, cunning and imagination it can be done.
All said and done, i'd still rather have not been in that situation in the first place...
i got a hommey on house arrest right now for WWB (walking while black)...FREE ZEAL!
That's the only time I've been dragged off to the precinct. Been teargassed a couple of times at demonstrations (so not recommended). Marijuana possesion here and there. Nothing major, fortunately. I usually try to stay away from the police. Had a couple of run-ins with the NYPD in Queens when visiting family there. False allegations, "you fit the description" - type of stuff.
But I didn't do it. So I was let go.
m_dejean, that's
YEAH!!! Phill is back!
I GOT POLITICAL IN THE CELL BLOCC.
If only...
This graemlin ROCKS.
yeah, I used my "get out of jail free" card early on as a teenager(graffiti bullshit). I just had to go through Pre Trial Intervention and do a few hundred hours community service and then pay a fee and it was removed from my record.
I wish I had a clean record..that shit looks terrible Especially, when anyone can look anyone else up now on the net and check out their criminal history for free.
when i turned 18, I was able to paint again, and went on a bombing spree. that landed me in DC city for a couple weekends. THAT SHIT was NO JOKE. lucky for me, the city was still recovering from the beaurocratic mess Mayor Barry had left behind. Wheen I showed up to court, they lost my papers...TWICE. The judge was so pissed.
Lucky for me, age and jadedness has killed my need to write on other peoples shit.
And with that, my 8000th post has been logged. Lord help me...
