Rudy Ornelas was pulled over in Sacramento in 2018 for tinted windows. His Smith & Wesson was registered and locked in his trunk. He told the officers. He stayed calm. He knew his rights. He asked for a supervisor. In return, a female officer drew her gun and pointed it at his head. He was cited, his legal firearm was temporarily seized, and he was forced to complete a safety class and wait two months to get it back.
Every charge was dropped. He didn’t file a lawsuit—he won in criminal court when the charges were thrown out. The officer? No public discipline. Reports say she was later promoted to detective, but SPD never confirmed it because they never had to. The real loss isn’t just what happened to Rudy. It’s a system that rewards escalation instead of punishing it. Compliance doesn’t protect us. Accountability will.

Bobby Phills, the only player in Hornets history to have his jersey retired, tragically passed away in a car accident on this day in 2000.
Known as an elite wing defender in the ’90s, Phills was a starter on the last Hornets team to win 50 games under coach Dave Cowens.
He averaged 12.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 1.4 steals per game during his three-year career with Charlotte.
Off the court, he was known for mentoring kids at youth camps and supporting local charities.
I’m not putting up with disrespect any more on this platform. Being cursed at. Called names. Bullying. None of it. I don’t do it to people-whatever political or social disagreements I have with folks- I ALWAYS engage respectfully. I demand that courtesy in return.
Happy Haitian Independence Day. On January 1, 1804, Haiti defeated the French in the Haitian Revolution. This is the only slave rebellion where the enslaved defeated the enslavers. The French and US have attempted to punish Haiti ever since. @BLM_edia
