Young, Black, and Frisked by the NYPD

[Lobotomy]

These experiences changed the way I felt about the police. After the third incident I worried when police cars drove by; I was afraid I would be stopped and searched or that something worse would happen. I dress better if I go downtown. I don’t hang out with friends outside my neighborhood in Harlem as much as I used to. Essentially, I incorporated into my daily life the sense that I might find myself up against a wall or on the ground with an officer’s gun at my head. For a black man in his 20s like me, it’s just a fact of life in New York.

Lucky. Try "Young, Black, Frisked, Planted, Beaten, and Shot".

Pigs suck, something all queers,especially those of color, should know by now.

Back in the nineties during the AIDS pandemic when activists were protesting against conservative measures aimed against people living with AIDS, the police would routinely brutalize protesters while shouting "AIDS is god's punishment for faggots!"

Every year a new generation learns of the reality that is the police.
