A Black child has been criminalized for taking advantage of something that he is entitled to, just like the rest of his peers.

Ryan Turk is a middle school student who attends Graham Park Middle School in Triangle, VA, which is near his hometown of Dumfries, VA. According to local authorities at the school, Ryan was combative with them after being confronted about “stealing” a small carton of milk–which he had the right to select via the school’s free lunch program.

The incident occurred on May 10, when he was harassed by the cop who accused him of stealing the 65-cent item. The young Melanoid boy is being charged with larceny, and is required to go to juvenile court. Ryan’s mother, Shamise, is disgusted by the atrocious accusations trumped up against her son, and said she was “angry” and “frustrated”.

Black Child Ordered By His School To Remove His Locs

HOPEWELL, VA — For the past four years, a Melanoid child by the name of Isaiah Freeman has worn his hair in locs–something that never seemed to hinder his outstanding academic performance as a student of West End Christian School. However, how little Isaiah chooses to wear his hair has posed a ridiculous threat to the school that he attends.

Freeman’s school informed him that his hair was too long, and violated the appearance codes of the private educational institution. His father Shawn has told the New York Daily News that “it’s a form of not being culturally aware, a form of stereotyping”, and fully expects to have his son removed from his current school.

Although the school has allegedly decided to implement diversity training by ‘reconsidering’ making changes to the hair policy next school year, Shawn Freeman refuses to allow his son to attend West End Christian School under any circumstance.

Suspected White Supremacist Virginia Cop Indicted After Shooting Black Teen In April

Stephen Rankin, a white male cop who shot and killed a Melanoid teen by the name of William Chapman on April 22, has been indicted by a grand jury in Virginia.

The incident occurred in late April on a Wal-Mart parking lot in the aftermath of Rankin’s alleged confrontation with the now-deceased Chapman, who was suspected (but never confirmed) of shoplifting. An autopsy shows that Rankin shot the Melanoid teen in the face, killing him instantly. Included below is an illustration from the autopsy:

Interestingly enough, this isn’t Rankin’s first go-round murdering an unarmed man. According to The Guardian, Rankin shot and killed another person in an unrelated (to Chapman) incident. Rankin is also a Navy vet who served in Iraq upon leaving the military in 2007 and joining the Portsmouth Police Dept shortly after. This is a reminder of the fact that many race soldiers and suspected white supremacists in law enforcement have once served in the military at one point in their lives.
