Unfortunately Sis, it is. 4 young black males in an SUV are profiled, then stopped without having done anything other than being Black. No moving violation, no equipment violations, nothing. Forced to lie face down without due process, and one is shot twice for daring to speak out. This was an exemplary Bruh, good to his family, good on his job, well known in town and across the state. Every chapter of Omega in GA will have a representative at his funeral. This could be any Black man in your family. This has happened to me numerous times, only I wasn't shot. I have been hancuffed, laid in the grass, car searched from engine to muffler, by dogs, just for being Black. It is more than an inconvenience, it is DEHUMANIZING, EMASCULATING, and the ultimate flaunting of WHITE SUPERIORITY. There is a place for profiling but it must be mitigated by justice, not "just us".
