another time, same suburb i arrived home to multiple cop cars blocking off my cul de sac, in my house w| my mother. i walk in they say i'm wanted for armed burglary + wanna know where i been.

imagine the panic nerdy, square ass felt! #LivingWhileBlack
why me? someone saw my cousin, Rico running to my car in a whole other city 30mins prior.

we were leaving a youth program in Berkeley + he called askin for a ride at the last min. i told him hurry up cause i had homework. his running to my car looked suspicious. + supposedly we
matched the description of a male/female team that had just robbed some old white dude at gun point in Berkeley.

someone called in my license plate on suspicious activity + gave a description. based on the desc., cops were sent to the address on my car registration: my house.
WE DIDN'T MATCH THE FUCKING DESCRIPTION!

when i slowly walked in my house i guess momms could see the panic. she also knew my history w| police (older bro. killed by cop) so she said my name a few times, made me look at her + told me she knew it was mistaken ID + to relax.
cop told me what was going on but had already seen photos of me in the house + i didn't match the description at all -- i wasn't anywhere near the right age for one!!

basically said she just needed to confirm + left.

i was scared, confused, + irate all at the same time.
the whole thing was bullshit. i had on a fucking school uniform. i barely look like a high schooler now, in HS i prolly looked like an elementary student + my cousin not much older (he's younger).

alleged burglary had happened way earlier + the ppl were said to be in their 40s.
why would a kid wearing a backpack running to a car = 2 burglars fleeing the scene of a crime that had happened hrs prior?!

still think the "burglary" was a cover for "we saw a Black boy running + hop in a car w| another Black kid in my nbrhd they must be up to no good."
my** nerdy, square ass... 🙄
