"Police arrived at Kelly’s house Wednesday, Aug. 7 at around 10 a.m., responding to a report of “suspicious persons,” to find the four boys on the ground, with Kelly, who is white, standing over them with a gun.
The boys were allowed to stand up and told officers they were selling discount cards to raise money for their school’s athletic program. Two of the four kids were wearing their football jerseys, according to the police report. One officer immediately recognized the students from interactions with them as a School Resource Officer."
Sounds like a misunderstanding. Have you guys ever sent your kids out to raise money for their schools? Have they ever been detained? If so, why?
From a parental perspective, especially in this climate, I will never allow my boys to fundraise like this. If it’s something like Joe Corbi pizza or yankee candle, I will allow them to solicit from people at my job, church, family and those we know in our neighborhood.
This could be all a big misunderstanding, but unfortunately this adds to the long list of doing normal things while black.
Let us add, “Fundraising while black” to go along with,
Bbq’ing while black
Napping while black
Cashing your check while black
Playing golf while black
Selling water while black
Living in an upscale neighborhood while black
Cutting grass while black
Staying in an Aidbnb while black
Running for political office while black
It’s getting kind of ridiculous that some people feel our very existence of doing normal things is a threat. Smh
Especially a guy who makes a new thread like every other day dedicated to what he sees as the self destruction of the Democratic Party based on little more than his own opinions.
It’s not both sides. Democrats had plantations in the past and have inner cities today. Robert Byrd is resting peacefully knowing his party is still intact.
Anyone can “set foot on your property” with the intention of knocking on your door to talk to you/ask for donations/sell you ■■■■■ This has gone through every level of out Court system.
