The reason why the white officer stopped McKean is a prime example of the emergency state Melanoid people are in around the country. Mckean was stopped simply because he was walking down the street with his hands in his pockets. Some one called the police and said that Mckean looked “suspicious” because his hands were in his pockets while he was walking down the street.

With all of the instances of Black people being killed with impunity by white police officers and other suspected white supremacists around the U.S,Black people are constantly told that we could avoid these murders and police encounters if we just “act a certain way”.

But situations like in this video proves that Blackness itself is criminalized and there is nothing a Black person can do to stop suspected white supremacists around the country from practicing racism.
