Like the late 2 Pac said, “somethings will never change.”
“A grieving father is suing the city of Springfield, Illinois after police tested his deceased daughter’s ashes for drugs. Body camera footage shows how the disturbing moment unfolded. Dartavius Barnes was driving on 6 April, 2020 when Springfield police officers pulled him over, allegedly for speeding. When officers asked if they could search his car, he complied,” per Yahoo News.
Barnes became emotional when officers wrongly told him that a metal container in his vehicle tested positive for meth or ecstasy when it possessed the ashes of his 2-year-old daughter, Ta’Naja Barnes. Barnes begins to plead with the officers to return the urn to him.
“Give me that, bro. That’s my daughter. Please give me my daughter, bro. Put her in my hand, bro. Y’all are disrespectful, bro,” Barnes yells at the officers.
These cops are pathetic and just don’t care doing whatever they want to Black people.
Something needs to be done as it relates to policing because it could’ve went left real quick.
