The family of Breonna Taylor is still facing charges for a “popup protest” on July 12th. Breonna’s family, including her mother, was gathered for a family BBQ in Grand Rapids and went downtown to Rosa Parks circle, where they are trying to name a street after Breonna as a memorial. All they wanted to do was show her mom the street that was going to be named after her daughter.
The police heard the family was going downtown and created a road block, claiming it was a “popup protest” and that the family was “inciting violence” by simply EXISTING downtown. Here is what one of Breonna’s cousins had to say in a Facebook post:
As of July 25th, charges have NOT been dropped. That’s right. GRPD is pressing charges against the family they attacked. In the Facebook post you can see officers pushing them down, yanking them out of cars, pinning their arms behind their backs. Not a single person in the family had a weapon or was acting violent in ANY WAY. This was a case of pure violence on the police’s part. If anything, the family should be charging THEM for harassment.
Breonna’s family is asking that people continue contacting the city of Grand Rapids and Grand Rapids Police Department.
PLEASE HELP!!!! By contacting GRPD with these demands that have yet to be met:
1. All charges against Breonna Taylor’s family and friends in relation to the events of July 12th be dropped
2. A full internal investigation conducted as to the use of excessive for and unprofessional language by officers on July 12th
3. Both involved supervisors (Sergeants) be put on leave effective immediately pending investigation.
You can email GRPD at grpdinfo@grcity.us or send them a message on Facebook. The physical address for snail mail is:
Grand Rapids Police Department Headquarters
1 Monroe Center NW
Grand Rapids, MI 49503
You know I love how so many people are like “respect boundaries respect consent” until it’s time to respect people w OCD who can’t shake hands or be touched or when an autistic person tells their family member they can’t give hugs or when a chronically ill person tells you “no I can’t do this thing” and you think “maybe if I just make them do it anyway it’ll make them stronger” or when a mentally ill person or someone who has been abused is like “I don’t want to be around this person/thing it’s triggering” and you get people guilting them to “just get over it”
If you’re about consent and boundaries, good, you should be, but remember to keep that energy when moms of autistic kids are like “I still hug my child even tho it makes them have panic attacks” or when someone’s like “yeah they said they don’t want to be around this person cause it’s “triggering” but I’m their friend so they should do it for me” or when a disabled person says they can’t go up the stairs and you’re begging them to “try anyway”
Don’t lose that mindset, or that energy when it’s time to respect the boundaries or consent of mentally ill and disabled people.
the never ending battle i have with myself: do i have a crush on them or do i just really want to be their friend?
