How my boyfriend got pulled over by the police for giving a beggar at 7-11 change: A Thread.

This is the kind of thread that makes me lose hope.
And I know it shouldn’t because the Sheriff involved was a good man throughout, but it still speaks of a system that saw man give a panhandler change, and nearly get killed or arrested him on assumption of criminality https://t.co/2yWTuIcjBH— Citizen K Calls BS (@Citizen_Kryptik) April 25, 2018
The fact that he was a PoC shouldn’t matter.
But the truth is it clearly did, and it nearly killed him. Because he gave someone $.50. And while the description is visceral, it’s sadly common too. And it only seems to get worse.— Citizen K Calls BS (@Citizen_Kryptik) April 25, 2018
Oh, and because rather related:
It’s done: the House has voted to compel its only two black members to sit down, not allowing them to speak out about another member’s use of the N-word.

The symbolism is almost too blatant. https://t.co/OtqdpvivN4
