Trade Tech College Racial Profiling and Harassment

[rebelAfrika]

To Whom It May Concern,

Please review the attached video which documents the round-up and
detention of ALL the black male students at Trade Tech Los Angeles
Community College, Wednesday morning, 10/17/07. The students were
detained and had their information recorded. Students of other races
were allowed to walk around freely. The camera person is a Latino
male student who was not detained until a sheriff officer snatched his
phone while he was videotaping- - this can be seen CLEARLY on the
video.

For immediate follow-up about the video, please contact me by phone:

Thank you.

p.s. I am the student who shot the video. And I was the only non-black
student detained in the round-up because I was videotaping what went
down.

Apparently the Sheriffs were conducting a "drug investigation" and the
suspects were black, so this is how they handled their "investigation. " The
video was sent to CBS news last night and the woman who reviewed the video
said: "well if they were searching for suspects who were black, then it
would make sense that they would target Black males. Did they beat or mace
anybody?" Unbelievable. Of course, it didn't occur to her that they would
NEVER round-up and detain all the white males on a college campus to
investigate a crime.

and even worst is that most of the cops were Black
