Can you imagine the pride her grandmother feels seeing this? She’s 93 so she saw and/or experienced Jim Crow, redlining, KKK attacks,the civil rights movement, massive injustice and inequality, and more. But she made it. And so did her granddaughter!

i don't want this story to just fade off.
michigan police chased down, rammed off the road, shot (27 times) and killed a white navy vet because they THOUGHT he was black. they essentially lynched a guy because they SUSPECTED HE WAS BLACK.
welcome to america, guys!!
I don’t think yall mad enough.
There’s a black woman who’s been sitting in jail since 6/5 named Janine Delane because she refused to sign over the deeds to her land passed down to her . A judge order her to sign over her land.
🚨BREAKING: A new video shows DHS lied, again, about an ICE shooting.
Yesterday, ICE reportedly told police that a man “weaponized” his vehicle by “ramming” into an ICE sedan, forcing an agent to fire his gun during an operation in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Except… that’s not what the video shows.
In the video, an ICE agent rushes the driver’s window with his gun drawn. The agent recklessly waves his gun around, and appears to order the driver to roll down the window.
That’s an extreme use of force from the very beginning.
Another agent approaches the car, and moments later, they violently smash the driver’s window.
And notice how the driver doesn’t try to flee until ICE violently escalates everything.
He drives around the ICE vehicle, makes it into the street… not hitting a single ICE agent, or vehicle.
Then, AFTER the car is already past every agent, and driving away, an ICE agent opens fire.
The law is pretty clear… officers may only use deadly force, against a fleeing person, if they have probable cause to believe that person poses an immediate threat of death, or serious physical injury to the officer, or others.
So, where was the immediate threat?
The car had already passed the agents… and was driving AWAY.
ICE also claimed Lara-Hernandez had a criminal history of assault, and that this was a targeted enforcement operation.
Yet, publicly available court records reportedly do not show any active warrants.
Federal agents don’t get to point guns at people without legal justification. They don’t get to fire at a vehicle after the immediate threat has passed. And they don’t get to lie to police about what happened.
So, when are we going to start holding these agents accountable?
