[RL/police] I swear to fuck if the police could stop traumatizing my husband.
InClementVarker
off the top, he is physically okay but has a lot of police interaction trauma and was already having a rough time of it
InClementVarker
but apparently(less than 5 minutes after he left our house for the bus which is a 7 minute walk away) he was stopped by our local pd
InClementVarker
the coffee stand called in a person harassing them and they said 'David fit the description they were given'
InClementVarker
like. bitch, we live in a pretty small town and there are not a lot of brown people here he walks this route every morning and has for 3 years, respectfully. unless the person they got a description for was just passing through? no, he did not fit the description.
InClementVarker
we have a small pd, i think there are 7 officers for our town but obviously we are sandwiched between bigger cities so it could have been another department but.
InClementVarker
I just want them to leave him alone. he's shaken up now and all he was trying to do was walk to work. but it freaks me out now that they might have better eyes on him. like stop looking at him.
InClementVarker
he ready carries his fucking passport and soc everywhere he goes...
InClementVarker
and if it makes me nervous and angry I cant begin to imagine what it makes him feel like.

Jesus fucking Christ

He's had worse experiences but with everything else going on it's just one more terrible thing
InClementVarker
and though I don't feel like I need to clarify, I do want to point out that David has only ever been detained because he was brown, never for anything else. His record is squeaky clean. He doesn't even have a drivers license so no traffic tickets either
InClementVarker
fucking ridiculous.
plant jesus
Man I'm sorry.
InClementVarker
He grew up in Palo Alto so he's said it used to be worse, but it still ISNT great
Just👻Ghosts
that's fucking horrible
plant jesus
The racism in Palo Alto is bad, he's sure right about that, but cops racially profiling people will never be great. Fuck the cops.
InClementVarker
He and I took a walk in the neighborhood he grew up in last year and were stopped by the cops :| they were like "Whatcha doing here?"
InClementVarker
It was thanksgiving so obviously the answer was visiting family but it pissed me the fuck off.

I'm so sorry. Having met David, he has like the most non-threatening vibes. It sucks so much that police decide he's Suspicious because of racism.
InClementVarker
He is the quietest, gentlest and most genuinely compassionate man i have ever met. I think thats why it bothers me so much? because he is non-threatening. like yes he has a beard and some minor resting bitch face but thats it.

its literally just racism
InClementVarker
/rages into the ether
InClementVarker
I love my husband. I love him so much and I want to fight people right now. nameless people who may or may not have done something wrong.
InClementVarker
a milkshake does not fix institutional racism but it does make him smile.
InClementVarker
he's on a call with his bff because his version of coping is helping other people and I want him to just go and take a bath but I cant make him do anything at least he ate something.
