College Student held at gunpoint By. Ayanna Evans

Charles Blow is a noted Memorist and a New York Times Collumnist is furious about the cruel and unusual punishment shown to the African American race by police. He spoke out about the Michael Brown situation and is not speaking out about the current situation that took place with his son.His son that attend Yale, was allegedly held at gun point and detained by campus police because he fit the description of a criminal that they were looking for. Once Blow's son was released and once he found out about the news, He was heated. He spoke about about the situation on twitter hoping to get the attention of others to try and stop this ongoing cycle to the African American race.




I think that this will forever be a thing with the police. I honestly am scared to go anywhere where police are simply because i know that because of the color of my skin i am automatically a target. I dont't think the fist thing police should do when they see a possible suspect, is draw a gun on them, simply because of this situation where they could have pulled the trigger on the wrong person. The world needs to change because i still don't believe that African Americans are free... We are still a target.

  2. This is awful. Police brutality, especially acted on African American people, is still an ongoing issue, and it doesn't seem like it's going to end with the way police are reacting to protesters. I wish Darren Wilson had been indicted at least.
