Held at gunpoint in my own home

This next illustration I chose simply to have as black and white because of how strong those colors represent racism. And here is another example of racism at it’s finest and it happened right in our own neighborhood. A San Jose cop was following a family and is now entering a lawsuit because the only reason for his actions was that the family was black and he has suspicions. All from the color of their skin. Once forcing himself into their home, the cop did all in his power to make it seem as if their were some kind of criminal and called back up to make it seem like they were fighting their arrest, which wasn’t justified at all. And to try and hide his actions he threatens a young girl that if she recorded his actions on her phone, she would send her to juvenile prison. When discussing this issue, the family’s lawyer said that cases like these often come up. Again, another commonplace issue that we just have to live with. But we shouldn’t. We don’t need to live with this at all and in this case, and that the punishment for something as appalling as racial profiling will be given to the cop with good measure.
