I think white folks came up with this crime called “menacing”. I don’t know much about it, but it fits the bill, after all, this law was written by white folks, passed by folks, affirmed by a white president/governor, and adjudicated by a white judges. So, it must be a legit law, right? Phillips said he was fearful. We should believe him, just like we believe your white supremacist cops were “fearful” when they murder [people of color.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Amadou_Diallo) As for “thug”, where were you when Trayvon Martin and [Tamir Rice](https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2015/12/30/1464858/-Miami-Police-Union-president-says-Tamir-Rice-was-acting-like-a-thug-and-was-treated-like-a-thug)were referred to as thugs? These children had no criminal record. One of these children likely hadn’t even entered puberty yet. Meanwhile, the white animals refer to[Charles Manson](https://www.newsweek.com/charles-manson-was-loving-compassionate-man-who-cared-about-environment-says-721486?utm_campaign=NewsweekTwitter&utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=Social)as “loving” and “compassionate”. What a fucking joke.
