So back in the day KRS-ONE had a track that featured the line: "
But when they come to arrest a black man, they need forty cops or more...That is, they come with overwhelming force. The only reason for me referencing that line is because I am of the belief that the state abuses on black citizens would eventually be applied to the wider population. Below is an example:
Here's a screengrab I want to highlight:
First thing is that the individual being questioned here is not a suspect in any crime whatsoever. The government has absolutely *ZERO* reasons to be at his home. What he should have said is that they need to come back with a warrant (which I know would be a sham but you put them through the process anyway). That said, that this homeowner (and gun owner) was not a suspect in any crime whatsoever, look how "heavy" these three individuals are.
First, if you're just asking questions, then why are there three armed persons? All at various points to make sure they have clear line of fire (which changes in the video). The message is clear. If these agents don't like what they see or hear, they will kill the home owner, who, I'll repeat how. not committed a crime nor is a suspect in any crime.
Recognize this for what it is.
