Guilty for being Black


"Only in black minority neighborhoods
cops are allowed to kill first
and ask questions later"


Cruel but true this quotations proves correct in New York City. Innocent people are killed by cops. Why does it take a crime to prevent crime, why do we have to be hurt to be protected? These are questions that are ignored. Cops do not care what they do to minorities. It seems normal to see a black male against a gate being searched for no reason. If a cop see a black male with his pants a little baggy it is assumed he is a gangster, and even if did not commit a crime he would soon, someday. One day I was on the train when a group of black males got on, it was a lot of them so one boy was holding the doors to make sure all his friends could get on. The train conductor became mad at the fact the boy were holding "her doors". She called the cops in rage as if they were really hurting her. The cops made all the young boys get off the train. After that I noticed them being searched. Was all that necessary, were they accused of selling drugs, or accused of having a weapon, or was it even that serious in the first place. It is not that serious because when white people are holding the doors asking if the train is going uptown or downtown cops are not notified and if they were the cops would most likely get a friendly smile and give them directions. Well we can't blame the cops anyway because we seem to have a new law stating if you are black you are guilty until proven innocent... right, and besides cops can do whatever they want, if they have a badge they have the right to harass you and don't worry it get better, they might even get the chance to kill you.
