last night I'm riding my bike to my friend's apartment

happened to have a bag of unknown contents on me 

that was supposed to make its way to this friend

I'm going through a park in Maryland that I've gone through before

no problem

when out of nowhere I hear someone yell at me

I stop, pull one headphone out

as I am approached by two police officers

they ask if I had my ID on me

I thought I left it at home so I simply said, "no"

they ask my age with a harsh tone

so I asked, "what does it matter?"

they then pull me off of my bike

and throw my face onto a recycling bin

they pull everything out of my pockets

very forcefully, mind you

and begin searching me

at one point they tell me to spread my legs

so I did

and then I get my right leg kicked to the side

VERY FORCEFULLY

I can barely hear the things they are saying

because I have a headphone in still

at this point

I ask the officer if I could remove it to hear him better

and he simply says

"no"

they find my ID in my wallet

and the insults begin

these are things that they said to me

word for word

"oh, you're from Virginia so you think you're better than everyone else, huh?"

"you smoke a lot of weed."

"you smoke a lot of weed on Cinco de Mayo."

"you look like you're going through withdraw"

"do you have a name for your bike? Mine's called Mary Jane."

"Have fun at art school.  That's not real school."

"What's your major?  Stupidity?"

"you smoke weed"

that's only the fucking beginning

however

I have a human rights sticker

clearly visible on my bike

and I have reason to believe that

is possibly the main cause of all of this

I can't believe that this is our police force

THAT IS NOT RIGHT

THAT IS NOT JUSTICE

THAT IS NOT THE WAY

I

AS A CITIZEN

DESERVE TO BE TREATED
