America has been described as the land of the free however many of our American citizens are becoming victims of the system. The judicial system has been designed to incarcerate our minority men, women, and children without merit. It seems that we fit the description of what they're looking for as their definition of criminals. All of the residents of Washington Heights are becoming victims of police abuse both verbal and physical. Our young boys are constantly stopped and searched just because police feel they can violate them at any time. This disrespect has to stop! We have to stop them before another Sean Bell episode occurs on our streets. Sign this petition to protect our rights!
Seeing this level of support confirms that my neighbors in Washington Heights are finished with being treated like targets in our own streets. We have serious momentum now and I intend to carry this energy directly to the precinct doors.

Seriously? Why are they still messing with our kids in the heights. It makes me so mad every time I hear about it.

Enough is enough. My nephew gets harassed every day just walking to the store. This stuff needs to end now.
