I am home, and I am ANGRY.
Just got done with a 45 minute phone conversation with Raccoon, who drove to Detroit by herself this morning to see her mom, because she was somehow profiled by the cops there, pulled over with 3 cruisers, was searched, had the car and all her belongings torn apart and tossed all over, had drug dogs, and was essentially violated for having done nothing beyond having the cruise control set at 3mph over the limit.
I don't know if they confiscated her insulin pen. I don't know if they confiscated her testing kit. I don't know if they confiscated any of her other meds. I don't know if they broke anything. I don't have a single bloody clue why any of this happened, and neither does she.
... I mean, beyond ACAB.
I know she's safe at her mom's. I know the car is driveable. I know she's upset for DAMN good reasons, and I can't be there to hold her, right now. I am VERY angry, and venting, because that's all I can do, at the moment.
They did not give her a ticket or citation. She did not get their names or numbers because they did not give them. There is no incident report that she'd have access to, at the moment.
Just a bunch of thugs 'protecting and serving' by threats and abuse...
... and the cold reality that, in the world we are living in, if she wasn't white, this could have easily been far more devastating with no further reason needed, despite having done nothing wrong other than existing.
... and I am angry.
