As black people we just about all have horrible stories about interactions with police officers.

I remember one night I had went bike riding. I was just trying to get in some exercise. While I was riding the bike and passing one of the neighbor's house their dog ran out of the yard and bit me. The bite left a huge gash in my calf and also calls me to fall off the bike and scuff my knee up pretty bad.

I immediately talk to the neighbor and ask them if their dog had their rabies shot and if they could show me proof of the vaccination.

I told him if they could show me proof of the vaccination then I wouldn't worry about calling the police.

The neighbor seemed kind of hesitant and was acting a bit fishy to me. I told him I was going to go to my house to grab my cell phone real quick and come back. I came back and asked if they were able to go ahead and get the information on the vaccine. They were unable to get it so I went ahead and called the police.

By the time the police showed up they had hid the dog somewhere. I assume that when I walk back to my house to get my cell phone that's when they hit the dog.

When the police showed up the neighbors swore up and down that it wasn't their dog. I explained to the police that I had just talked to them and they told me it was their dog.

The police didn't do anything. They basically blew it off and told me pretty much to not worry about it. I explained that I haven't been bitten by their dog and that they should be cited for it and that them having the dog without the proper vaccines was a danger to the community.

Once again the police officers blew me off and didn't do anything.

I just asked if they could give me a report number and then went ahead and got my wife and kids to go to the hospital.


Once we got to the hospital and we're pulling in the parking lot I must have been pretty anxious and trying to hurry up and get in because I turned my lights off a bit early. There was some police officers in the parking lot and I guess they must have saw me turn the lights off cuz I was getting ready to the park. They pulled up behind me and turned their lights on pulling me over.

The police officers walked up and it started as a pretty much standard interaction they asked for license and insurance. I gave him the paperwork as they asked.

The police officer walked away for a bit and then came back. When he came back that's when things kind of got weird. Now I'll remind you my wife and kids were in the car with me.

Daughters were both only 1 and 3 years old at that time. The police officer started asking all kinds of weird questions which it was obvious to me he was racially profiling me.

He asked if I had any guns or drugs in the car, did the car belong to me, where was I going, did I live near this area. I answer no to everything. He circled back around again and asked him I sure that I didn't have any guns or drugs in the car. He then asked if I minded if they searched the car.

At this point I was a little upset so I didn't answer the question. Instead I explained to the police officer that I have been just bitten by a dog and was on the way into the hospital to get treatment. I told him no I did not give consent to search the car and asked if he could go ahead and write my citation so that I could go.

He gave me a kind of strange look. Most people don't acts if they can get a citation they're trying to get out of it. My thing with the police is always been that I want the interaction to be over. I don't care if I get a ticket I'll just pay it. But I don't want an interaction with the police to last any longer than necessary even if that means just getting a ticket and going on my way.

After all the racial profiling the police officer came back to the car after wasting approximately 30 minutes of my time and told me that he was just going to give me a warning.

I was pretty pissed off. If you're going to put me through all of that then at least give me a damn ticket. But to sit there and racially profile me like that and then just figure it's cool because you're letting me off with the warning that's BS.

I'm never upset with the police officer for giving me a ticket. If I'm speeding a broke a traffic law then I'm fine with getting a ticket for it. I don't feel like I'm above the law. But what I don't like is for police officers to pull me over and then racially profile me like that. Treat me the same as you would a f****** white man in a suit.

You wouldn't sit there and ask all those kinds of questions to a white man in a suit because you feel like they may be someone important and then you may end up getting in trouble and losing your job. However when they pull over a young black man they figure this is no one important so they can get away with treating us like dirt.

What's your worst experience with police officers?

Overview
Halo is an American military science fiction television series developed by Kyle Killen and Steven Kane for the streaming service Paramount+, loosely based on the video game franchise of the same name. Produced by Showtime Networks, 343 Industries, Amblin Television, One Big Picture, and Chapter Eleven, the series follows a 26th-century war between the United Nations Space Command and the Covenant, a theocratic-military alliance of several advanced alien races determined to eradicate the human race.

Reviews
Reviews have basically been mediocre. The series strays so far from the source material that it is almost unrecognizable.

My Take

Where does everyone bank? Do you like Greenwood bank even though it’s pushing a non existent black and brown coalition? I’m currently trying to switch from Wells Fargo.

What do you think about this take from the 6ZEROS twitter? Do you think they are making a concerted effort to show us as meek and non-commanding. I do find it odd how both are astronauts but the Black one is scared while the White one looks composed and focused. Why would you use that image? Why not have a strong Black person next to Buzz? Why can’t they both be focused and determined?

While I can appreciate the restraint that bruh in the video excersized, I'm not that saved yet.
That pink-toed polar bear would've gotten hurt.
But enough about me, what would you have done?

Gov. DeSantis (R-FL) has made it easy for brothers & sisters who were planning to withhold their votes by simply eliminating their voting district.
Meanwhile, the Democrats were busy doing nothing as usual.
Black people were stuck between political assault and political inaction.

Phil Scott shares some shocking news about the recent discoveries in black migrant mistreatment and their newfound negro wake up, but DOAS/FBA/Freedman saw this coming.

I've been catching clips here and there of it I've always liked Depp's work ever since Nightmare on Elm St., Watching some of his testimony about what he went through with Amber Heard is crazy. She seriously had a few cookies missing from the jar, He's suing her for 50 million for defamation, almost ruined his career claiming he was abusive physically. The fact is, she's the one who was beating him. The stories he's been telling about her are wild, this nasty 4ss female s4it in his bed because he didn't do something she wanted him to do... who the hell does that!

I hope Johnny gets every penny, Amber should've been locked up with these antics, Money, fame, looks don't mean jack if the one you are with is a nut job. I feel bad for homeboy.

Do you believe his side? I don’t because we see Joe fall out with EVERYONE. He sabotages every relationship and then starts pointing fingers everywhere but himself.

I listened when he had Marisa and then listened through the Rory and Mal era.

This morning's address from Professor Black Truth was another cautionary expression in how the black people who are supposed to represent us should do so knowing that we have the ability to punish them. Furthermore, The Professor notes that since the Dominate Society's media apparatus unable to define who is Native Black, they will try to muddy the waters of blackness by allowing anyone to speak on the subject can call them an expert. From the ABC article date April 1st, 2022 (NOT A JOKE), Lisa Holder (No relation to Eric Holder) argues that reparations should be "MORE INCLUSIVE", Tony Burroughs (Never heard of him before) says that anyone calling themselves black should be entitled and is opposed to exclusively using lineage. What makes an expert? one with the special skill or knowledge representing mastery of a particular subject, so FBA/DOAS/Freedman seeking reparations for American Slavery through our documented family history are experts, everyone else is just acting or a clear fraud.

The new 2D Beat-em-up will feature the original 1980's voice actors except Shredder RIP James Avery.
One of my most anticipated games of this year. Hopefully it comes out in June but I feel it will most likely come out in August.

PS Support "The Code" Podcast

I'm not sure if everyone's going to agree with me on this point that I'm about to make but I just want to get thoughts.

So when preparations are talked about most people think cash payments are just simply getting a check.

I view it a bit different. While cutting a check would definitely be my first option, I am willing to consider other options as well.

If you look at native Americans they get lots of fringe benefits.

I will be willing to consider free college, government back housing loans with easier qualifying standards, subsidies for housing and rent, civil service preference for government jobs and making black people a protected class.

The thing about it is I'd want pretty much all of those things though. One or two of them wouldn't be considered reparations to me. I'm sure there's a lot of other things that could be given to us as reparations that I'm not thinking about right off hand but those are just some of the things that I typically think of.

What are the types of things to you guys think would be good as a reparations package? Or do you think the cash only is acceptable?

The Child Welfare System is Just as Important as the Criminal Justice System


With the recent release of the book Torn Apart by Prof. Dorothy Roberts, I finally felt the inspiration to write this. As a child welfare affected mother, longtime pro-Black child welfare reformer and abolitionist, I can say with certainty that too many of our families are being permanently split up and too few of us are pissed off about it. I understand why there are countless criminal injustice reform activists and more importantly why there are so many of us pissed off about the murdering of Black men, women and children by the white supremacist police including the recent killing of another Black man Patrick Lyoya and we should be. We should be taking to the streets about police brutality and the murdering of Black people by white police officers. However, that’s not the only wrath worthy issue that we should be up-in-arms about. The child “welfare” system is just as important to us as a people as the white supremacist criminal injustice system because it too is also a matter of life and death for countless Black families. This is an important issue because it deserves to be. Our families continue to be systematically targeted, our children removed en mass and our babies forcefully adopted out to mostly white strangers.

The Numbers Don’t Lie

• According to NSCL.org, in 2018 Black children were 13.71% of the population, yet 22.75% of children in foster care were Black. Moreover, Black children also make up a disproportionate number of children identified as victims by child protective services and children waiting to be adopted.
• White, Asian and Hispanic children are all underrepresented in the child welfare system.
• 58 percent of child welfare social workers are White, 24 percent are Black, 15 percent are Hispanic, and 4 percent are another race or ethnicity (Dolan et al., 2011).
• Prof Roberts states in Torn Apart that, “72 percent of Black children in Los Angeles County will endure a CPS investigation during the course of their childhoods” (Roberts. D, 2022).
• More than HALF of Black children are subjected to at least one CPS investigation at some point during their childhoods — almost twice the lifetime prevalence for White children.
• Per Casey.org, Black children are MORE likely to be reported for maltreatment, have their case investigated, substantiated and stay longer in foster care. Meanwhile, Black children are LESS likely to reunite quickly with their families.

The (il)legal Destruction of the Black Family is Real

I could go on forever about who, what, when and how this all happened policy wise but for now I’ll briefly concentrate on the Adoption and Safe Families Act (also known as ASFA). This blatantly racist and repugnant piece of legislation signed into law by Bill Clinton continues to destroy thousands of Black families annually and has created what I like to call mass removal of our children. ASFA is a federal law that promotes and removals and adoptions of Black children to mostly white strangers with financial rewards. The Adoption and Safe Families Act is the 94 Crime Bill of the child welfare system, it’s that detrimental to Black families. The negative affect to Black families has been and continues to be so devastating that I and many of my fellow child welfare reformers and abolitionists have accurately likened it and the system to which it belongs to as modern-day slavery and rightfully so.

The great teacher and prophet Malcom X (who along with his siblings was removed from his mother by a white social worker at 13 and placed into Michigan state care supposedly due to his mother experiencing a nervous breakdown after years of struggling with single parenthood after the murder of her husband Malcom’s father, Earl Little, by a white supremist group the Black Legion) also referred to the child welfare system as modern-day slavery. Too bad no one listened to him way back then, if enough people had, countless other Black families, including my own, would have been speared the same fate.

“I truly believe that if ever a state social agency destroyed a family, it destroyed ours” (Malcom/, Haley, pg. 26).

It’s Time to Abolish CPS

I have spent so many years speaking out against the racist as hell child welfare system, ASFA and the black cultural genocide that its created and it’s been a lonely fight. It’s time to punish CPS, their agents and the entire system itself for what it has and actively continues to do to us. We need to take it further than just policy change (although I will continue to push for the African American Child Welfare Act and repealing ASFA). There is a small be dedicated #AbolishCPS movement and we need your support. Our families, our children need to be protected from this insidious and white supremacist institution that has been structurally and systematically oppressing us for almost a century. During chattel slavery the white masters removed and sold our children and the American child welfare system is the same thing (even more so since ASFA). There is NO acceptable kind of chattel slavery therefore there is NO acceptable kind of CPS, at least not in its current form. For those interested in learning more, please check out my blog where I have written several articles that go into much greater detail about ASFA and the child welfare system, how it operates and why it’s so dangerous.

Which do you deem as better? The Samsung 22 Ultra has so many features, I can't even count. Even the case & the screen protectors provide ultimate protection.
iPhone may have updated & even new features. My turn off is having to pay for every app, even if they're free on other phones. If you forget your unlock code, you're done!
I'd like to hear from everyone in here, especially the techs.

I was just sitting here pondering on a question I wanted to ask the family. What is killing our people more White Supremacy or Rap music?
Because if you think about it deeply rap music plays a big part in the demise of our people, and we already know how WS works.

Hundreds of Texas state troopers will need to shrink their waistlines by December or face discipline from the Department of Public Safety, according to DPS documents obtained by the Dallas Morning News.

The department wants its 4,000 officers to maintain "command presence" by keeping waistlines below 40 inches for men and 35 inches for women. Those who exceed the threshold are required to start recording and sharing their weight loss with the department.

Over 200 officers have failed the requirement – though all except two had passed the department's other physical fitness tests, the Dallas Morning News reported.

Those who still fail the requirement by Dec. 1 can't be promoted or take on side jobs in uniform, according to documents shared with the Chronicle. Some will also be barred from working overtime or removed from enforcement duties altogether, taking them out of the field at a time when Gov. Greg Abbott is deploying state troopers to the U.S.-Mexico border as part of Operation Lone Star.

To avoid those sanctions, officers have pledged in their individualized "fitness improvement plans" to prepare their own meals and drink less diet soda, among other goals.

The waistline rule began in 2019 and drew a lawsuit that year from the Texas Department of Public Safety Officers a*sociation. The organization, which represents 4,700 DPS employees, criticized the policy as "demeaning" and unrelated to performance. After pandemic delays through 2020, the department began using the new measures to evaluate officers last September.

In a statement to the Chronicle, a DPS spokesperson said the department would reevaluate the rule in August but pointed to the department's overall fitness policy to justify the waistline requirement.

"There is not a great deal that others can do to improve an officer’s level of health and fitness," the policy objective states. "Unfortunately, good health and fitness does not 'just happen'; therefore, personal goals must be established and effort must be put forth to achieve them."

This is something my brother got into. He is younger and thinks that if Elon Musk buys Twitter, he will use DOGE on the platform in some way since it is a "meme coin" and considered to be an internet coin for younger generations.

He bought some. I mean I am hoping this happens cause it would be good for him but I have doubts.

Anyone else here think this coin will ever become something worth investing in?

First she came out as pansexual now she’s nonbinary…who and a what now?



“I’m nonbinary, so I just don’t see myself as a woman, solely. I feel all of my energy. I feel like God is so much bigger than the 'he' or the 'she,'" she said. "And if I am from God, I am everything. I am everything. But I will always, always stand with women. I will always stand with Black women. But I just see everything that I am. Beyond the binary."

The Memory Librarian author, who did not declare her preferred pronouns, went on to say that she sees other people for their "energy" rather than their gender. Most importantly, identifying as nonbinary has allowed her to explore relationships in different ways.

"I feel like that opens you up to fall in love … with any beautiful spirit," she said.

“I’ve been doing a lot of healing. I’m sure most of us have since we’ve been in the pandemic. When you have to stay in, you go in," she said. "I was thinking back to when I first started and I was like, man, as free as I was onstage, when I came off stage, I was still that scared little girl. Like, 'I’m not good enough.' That was always in the back of my mind. 'Will they love me?'"
