"STOP AND FRISK".

Danette Chavis

4/10/13 - AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE HELD REGARDING "STOPS AND FRISKS". SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS WERE DOWN AT THE SUPREME COURT TO EXPRESS THEIR OUTRAGE OVER THE POLICY.

 FOR SOME REASON THE YOUNG MALES SEEM TO "TAKE TO ME" WHEN EVER I'M AT A RALLY OR VIGIL CONCERNING POLICE BRUTALITY. THEY TELL ME THINGS THAT SOMETIMES SURPRISE EVEN ME. I GUESS THEY DO IT BECAUSE THEY "FEEL" THEY CAN. AND I SEE IT AS AN "HONOR" BECAUSE OUR YOUNG BLACK MALES DONT TALK TO ANYBODY ABOUT "ANYTHING" THEY JUST "DEAL WITH IT" AND KEEP THINGS TO THEMSELVES. BUT I WILL SAY THIS, KIMANI WAS "VERY MUCH LOVED" AND THOSE YOUNG MEN ARE "HURTING'. NOBODY HAS ANY ANSWERS TO GIVE THEM - AND THEY NEED IT! MORE THAN WE WILL EVER TRULY KNOW.
