Drinking Mountain Dew While Black
Posted by Dewan Gibson | Filed under Social Comm
Let’s get straight to the facts: An eighteen year old viola playing HONOR STUDENT was walking down a Pittsburgh street when three PLAIN CLOTHES cops jumped out of the car and tried to apprehend him for carrying a “heavy looking object,” which turned out to be a BOTTLE OF MOUNTAIN DEW! Not knowing who the three angry white men were, the teen attempted to run, at which point he was beaten so bad he had his locks pulled out.
Now, I’ve been in 2-3 scraps in my life and left one with a speed knot on my forehead (it was 5th grade, dude outweighed me by 50 pounds–tried to find him on Facebook so we can finish what we started but he’s not on there). That one speed knot left me a bit shook cus I was afraid the girls would no longer think I was short and cute like Webster if I had a second head growing. So I can only imagine the mental and physical pain this young man is going through. I say it’s at least 10-20 million dollars worth of pain. Better yet, let the thugs in blue doing a little time. See how much they like running up on people who won’t run away.
To read the full story click this link: CNN. BTW I had to add that pick of Halle Berry, cus the beating the police gave my boy is ruining the look of my blog.
