Spent the last few days working on a dynamic map that shows hanging deaths of Black people since 2018. Of all the ones I’ve tracked so far, a vast majority of the circumstances of the hangings are disputed by family.

So much more to go.

Im always open to being wrong. But im not. Every article covering those students selling drugs on campus juxtaposes their suits + dress against their ILLEGAL activity. While Black teenagers are being ripped apart + policed about something tacky. Not harmful, not illegal. Tacky.

You REDUCE crime by eliminating POVERTY. The reason so called nice neighborhoods have lower crime rates is because people’s basic needs are being met. It is not because of police, alarm systems, or neighborhood associations. Poverty creates crime.

On Thursday, August 6, Brookfield police surrounded Amber Newell’s vehicle on I-94 and ordered her out at gunpoint after a Flock license plate camera flagged her car in a Milwaukee homicide investigation. She had nothing to do with it.

Milwaukee police had already cleared the vehicle but never removed the alert. Three days earlier, Milwaukee officers stopped her the same way — guns drawn, no explanation, her car towed. Brookfield’s chief says his officers did nothing wrong.

An automated alert is not probable cause. Two departments pointed guns at an innocent woman in one week because no one deleted a file, and both are calling it procedure.

You will never convince me that a Black child found hanging from a tree was suicide…especially when it took them 11 days to find her but no one saw her there on days 1-10.

Did you know that after the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, White people forced Black people into internment camps? They had to use a pass to leave.
