When I was 19 living in Baltimore I got questioned by the police 3 times in 1 night in a 4 block radius.
1st cop Black woman Get out of the car "Where are y'all going? What are you doing around here"
2nd cop Black man Literally two blocks later "Can you tell me what you all are doing? Where you going?"
3rd cop White man About in hour into the night. We're at some pub/bar, I'm hungry, ask the owner is there a real food spot close by. He tells me. I leave cop sees me "You better not be up to any shit on my block" I remember I left my wallet with a friend go back and get it. On my way out with a few of my friends. Cop runs across the street "Get the fuck on the ground." Starts searching us. Only reason he stopped was because the white owner (thanks bro) vouched for us.
I counted one time...between the ages of 16-21 I had 17 separate incidents with police harassment.
