racial incident
caltrain station
this morning in 4 th street ''caltrain'' station there was an apparently ''homeless' type black man being handcuffed and hauled off. he had a backpack and bag and just appeared harmless.just a little ''out there''.nothing any more radical than any other ''street person''. he may haved said something the cop didnt like or resisted the interogation in some manner, but from my experience in this country. any disagreement with a cop can result in death threats if you are of any type afrcan descent.the man seem to have an african type accent or something similar.he was very dark skinned. he was asking for help and screamed with pain because he said the handcuffs were bothering him.the black man was asking passerby for help, and when i questioned the ''officer'' who was a white male, what the problem was , he said the typical ''stay out of this '' bullcrap that ive come to expect.you have no right to question these storm troopers protecting our liberty. i dont have a phone or many resources so i would implore the people of the bay area to please call the sfpd and demand good trteatment for this african man,he was totrally harmless and im sure they will lie and say he was doing something dangerous.i know the same thing happened to me.cops will out and out fabricate something if they dont like you and you have some ''questionable'' ancestry.CALL AND DEMAND ""HANDS OFF BLACK MEN> we are entering a dangerous time where innocent peoplw ,white and black, could be in danger from police atate.perhaps humanity and life itself.at any rate please turn this info over to cop watchers and call for investigation into maltreatment of fellow african peopls.CALL SFPD NOW .i am tired of these ambushes of my people!! remember , this happened at caltrain station on fourth street this morning.
