tw: homophobic slurs
Obviously, I do not agree with the usage of homophobic slurs. It’s not cool. It doesn’t matter if it’s being directed at cops or Republicans or any group that I dislike. If someone uses slurs against an enemy of theirs, then they have probably used it against the group that it’s meant to disparage.
I just wanted to post this because of A) how perfectly she handled the police - you don’t necessarily have to curse, but never ever ever let them enter your home without a warrant B) to show how the police routinely lie about having search warrants + doing sketchy shit for their alleged “safety,” and C) because I truly believe this was a white person, and that + being recorded are literally thee only reasons they stayed polite and didn’t goon squad rush her ass.
White people generally get away with being crass and disrespectful to police officers. Sandra Bland, on the other hand, got murdered for being “too uppity.”

Sandra Bland: Say Her Name
Sandra Annette Bland was a 28-year-old woman from Chicago, who was taken into custody by a state trooper in Prairie View, Texas, following a minor traffic violation on July 10, 2015. Many people consider Sandra’s traffic stop to be a textbook case of rampant racial profiling.
After authorities reviewed the dashcam footage, the white state trooper who arrested Sandra was placed on administrative leave for failing to follow proper traffic stop procedures. He was subsequently indicted for perjury for making false statements about the circumstances surrounding Sandra’s arrest, and he was fired. On July 13, 2015 just three days after being arrested, Sandra Bland was found hanged in her jail cell and her death was ruled a suicide.
Most of us today have suspicions about the alleged suicide.
Rest In Peace… Rest In Power.

Thinkin ab you Trayvon.
You should be 29. You should have celebrated your birthday with family, you should be gettin hugged by your momma. Maybe you would have your own son or daughter by now...
What happened to you, should never happen to anyone. I wish they had held him accountable. I wish you were here... You were so young.
I cried when i heard what happened to you...
You were a bright light in this world, and I love you sib. I will continue to fight for us. I will never stop. We (Black people) are so deserving of love and care.
The things they do to keep us down, we wont buckle, not ever. I will fight for you, for Breonna, for Casey, for Mike, for George, for Eric, for Ma'Khia, for Sandra.
I HAVE to fight... I can't stop, I cant even slow down... I love being Black, I love how amazing Black people are, I love how resilient we are. But I HATE that we HAVE to be resilient...

We're rewatching Glass Onion and my husband said "Wasn't Sandra Bland the name of the woman who was murdered by the police a few years ago?" She was, and they claimed it was a suicide. I wonder if Cassandra Brand was a reference to her.

Remembering the Death Of Sandra Bland

By Stephen Millies
The so-called U.S. criminal justice system is just plain criminal. Two of its biggest atrocities are cash bail and solitary confinement.
Black Lives Matter activist Sandra Bland was held in a Waller County, Texas, jail because she couldn’t afford $5,000 bail.
Three days after Bland was arrested for a minor traffic violation, the 28-year old Black woman was found hanged in her jail cell on July 13, 2015. Many people don’t believe she committed suicide.
Albert Woodfox spent nearly 45 years in solitary confinement in Louisiana’s notorious Angola prison. Woodfox, who with two other members of the Black Panther Party were known as the “Angola 3,” was released in 2016.

“The BARE MINIMUM would be acknowledging that there are people in your communities who don't even know who Sandra Bland is or why we have to say her name, but y'all are so fucking debate poisoned you have to make it about Black people wanting to monopolize language and oppression.”

Black and Brown people of color AROUND THE WORLD are at war. Constantly having to fight for Justice and equality. Constantly needing to remind people that we are HUMAN BEINGS.
Black people (especially in America) will litterally go missing, get pulled over for a simple traffic violation and “mysteriously” end up dead in the custody of the police, are being racially targeted, shot killed, raped, and beaten in the streets and NO ONE CARES. And they wonder why Black people have such distrust of the police.
This case of Mahsa Amini in Iran is yet another example of how we as non-white, people of color are treated as less than human. And I’m PISSED. How can “corrective action” regarding an article of clothing result in this young girls death??? This reminds me TOO much like the Sandra Bland case here in America back in 2015.
If you have not yet read or heard of Miss Amini’s case, check out the hashtag below for updated news and coverage.
And instead of the Iranian police taking accountability for being the vicious monstrous pigs that they are and admitting that they used their place of authority and murdered this beautiful woman, they proceed to kill, detain, and beat on anyone speaking out about it.
But if this was a 22-year old Caucasian woman……
WE ARE AT A CONSTANT WAR. ITS US VS THE WORLD.
