Every time I lace my running shoes, I think about Ahmaud Arbery. To summarize the Arbery case: in February 2020, two white men, Travis (34) and George (64, a retired police officer) McMichaels got into their vehicle -- Travis with his shotgun, George in the bed of the truck with a .357 Magnum -- pursued the unarmed Arbery (25) through their neighborhood, and blocked his path with their vehicle.

Brodrick Sheffield is a black veteran living in east texas who was displaced into homelessness on Jan 31, 2021 during a pandemic. Brodrick has been the victim of a conspiracy of sorts for years, and now decides to record the accounts. Had he took track of them earlier, perhaps he would be able to find someone to help him against the villians who constantly sabotage his life. The villians, whom he calls sabotagers, are not just strangers, but even family friends and lovers. Brodrick hurts now after being left for dead by his mother, lover of ten years, and everyone he has known. Still alive he must do what he can.

--- The grounds on Govan hill were steeped in blood spills and gang crimes. The houses were skeletons of the past. Its walls were drenched in rainwater and mould, and ancient pine-marten den boxes. Big sea gulls had their young standing vigil on its leaky roofs, and pigeons took residence in its balconies.
crispsummersPublished 3 years ago in CriminalThe day I got arrested
It's January 6th, 2021. The one year anniversary of getting arrested on the campus I was going to, for having my service dog with me. The day that started my terrible year of 2020. The day my civil rights were violated. The day I was humiliated to the highest degree in a place I should have been safe. The day my school let me down and then refused to protect me from the discrimination I was receiving on their campus. If I had access to all the video footage to show you what happened I would. As of this moment I'm still trying to get the footage and I have been given 3 chances to plead guilty to being mixed and disabled and having my service dog with me on the college campus I was attending like that is a crime. I refuse to have my civil rights and be told I'm a criminal for doing nothing illegal.

Dear Brandon Bernard, I am sorry the justice system failed you, I am sorry that you were given unfair treatment. I am sorry that the politics of the current world viewed you for your race and not as a man, a father. I am sorry that the justice system failed to treat your case the same way they would have had you been white.
The Murder of Abraham Arellano: "Suicide By Cop", or Something Else?
At 6 pm, April 13th, 2019, I attended the vigil for Abraham Arellano, a Hispanic man who was killed by a Frederick County Sheriff’s deputy in what police are calling a “suicide by cop”. Much has already been written about Abraham, how he made a call from his cell phone about a home intrusion, how his girlfriend and child were in the home, how Abraham had a gun, and he wanted the cops to stop him before he murdered his loved ones, driven suicidal by the fact that he was supposedly being left by his girlfriend, who may have been able to take his child out of his custody, tied up with a neat little bow.

Sheriff Jenkins is a hard man. In the same vein of crooked, corrupt, and criminal “law enforcement” figures like former Milwaukee sheriff David Clarke and former Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio, Jenkins is “tough on crime”. Or at least that is what he wants us to believe about him. The sheriff also clearly wants such a position to be viewed positively by the Frederick County citizens. But should it be?

I Can’t Breathe...were the last words of George Floyd. When does the INJUSTICES of our society stop?! When will people of color feel safe in their own homes, towns, countries?!
TiJah WritesPublished 4 years ago in CriminalThat time I was stopped and searched
We all know the current state of the world in regards to racism and perceptions of law enforcement. The conversation has brought up some past memories of my own that I have been meaning to share but I feel like now is the perfect time to tell this story.
