When I was 15, I was chased through a mall by police who were yelling “Stop thief!” I had thousands of dollars of stolen merchandise on me. I was caught, booked, sentenced to 6 months of probation, required to see a parole officer weekly. I was never even handcuffed. THREAD:
I did a thread like this, except it was the opposite, and traumatic. To know that we grew up under the same law is so unbelievably problematic I don't know where to begin. Here's mine. https://twitter.com/qasimabasir/status/1268574711170035714?s=21 …https://twitter.com/qasimabasir/status/1268574711170035714 …
I hate this. This is brutal to read. I can’t imagine what it is to live it. Thank you for sharing your stories. I hope we can make real change.
That's my entire point of sharing it. I held it down for many years. But in this moment I think there's some value in people seeing how common this stuff really is. And we only really hear about them when they're killed.
this was so powerful and sad to read. i am white straight male, and while i could imagine the fringes of that life story, but i know that i’ll never understand. how very humbling, and motivating. thank you for sharing.
