What’s Up, What’s Up, Police?

A rant

“Why you comin on me, why you coming on me, now you on me”

— Mali Watkins

On May 23, 2020, in Alameda, California, where I live, five policemen handcuffed and pinned an unarmed Black man, Mali Watkins, to the ground because he was dancing on a quiet residential street.

FOR DANCING.

Yes, for effing dancing.

He was dancing as he had done every single day to work out. Neighbors pleaded with the police to let him go. Then the police cited him for resisting arrest.

Dancing got this Black man in trouble with the police in one of the most liberal and safest cities in America.

Are you surprised?

I am not.

WHAT’S UP, POLICE!

I thought your duty was to protect human beings from hurting each other regardless of race, class, or social status. I know you protect, but you only seem to help those who fund your existence or have property to protect.

You seem to relish in terrorizing those who fit your description of a threat. Did you rough up Mali Watkins to give you something to do and a spurt of adrenaline?

Racial profiling seems built into your training. Your culture always seems to dehumanize the impoverished minority.

Why else do so many kids from depressed neighborhoods get jailed for stealing bread when they’re hungry? They are then branded as criminals for life while the real criminals in expensive suits walk free.

WHAT’S UP, POLICE?

WHAT’S UP AMERICA?

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!
