did you look at the video?

who are you going to believe?

the cops? or your lying eyes?

i'm not brushing with a 'broad stroke' my personal experience...

quite the contrary...

UNTIL i experienced the racial bias of police myself, i didn't believe it..

i have family who are cops....my attorney who is a municipal judge says it is true....

who am i to believe?

my own personal experience, the experience of my attorney, the experience of my nephew the cop?

i think i will rely on what my experience tells me

and that of my closest family and friends....

they have no reason to lie to me

and i have no reason to express anything other than my own real experience which relates to the unjustified arrest of my BF simply because he is a minority driving an expensive car

no i'm not saying every cop is racist....

but i've seen enough from personal experience to believe racism is pervasive

i say this as a white, female, non-minority....

i experienced abuse from cops that was simply 'guilt by association'

that is all i need to know
