(FSU POLICE AND HARASSMENT)
Today I'm going to write about police harassment. I don't mean as a whole only but how it's affecting my life.
I am currently considering hiring a lawyer to represent me as well as filing suits in state and federal court.
Last month while riding my bike through FSU campus at night I was stopped and issued a trespassing warning because as the officers put it "someone's been stealing bikes."
From this I inferred that the thief must be a black man or that they were suspecting all black men.
Mind you I have a business which places me on campus a lot. I have done business on campus since 1977 when I was12 years old and have never had an incident with the FSU police, criminal or otherwise.
The 5 officers who stopped me played good cop bad cop and fired questions at me. I in my frustration answered them but I didn't answer them to the satisfaction of a couple of officers.
They then checked my record (which I must admit is long. The latest incident was in 2009 or 10 and was a bad check. Not fraud or uttering, it was a mistake between my bank and I
I now have begun to notice a certain officer who follows me even off FSUs property. He even harassed me in front of witnesses who are willing to testify in court. A few of them being FSU boosters. White and black.
He cited facts that are in fact blatant lies and used charges that I was exonerated on. This in an attempt to degrade my character.
He was hostile and very loud and aggressive.
If he had his body camera on you can view the footage.
In short I feel like the brother thrown out of the Doubletree this week.
It's time the police and society are not allowed to slander, attack and harass us. This is JERALD HAMZAHFARUQ MURPHY saying help me take a stand against police brutality.
