🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting in Virginia after police showed up at a mother’s home at 2 A.M. and TOWED HER CAR over a SH00TING she had NOTHING to do with...
...because a FLOCK CAM pointed them to the WRONG CAR!!!
Now her car is a TOTAL LOSS and she MIGHT LOSE HER JOB!!!!
Yes, you read that right, a Flock camera got it wrong, the cops took her car ANYWAY, and she’s the one paying for it.
Her name is Rosalyn Crump, she’s a mom raising 3 boys in Richmond VA
On July 29th, just before 2 in the morning, Richmond police officers showed up outside her home on Sussex Street.
She was ASLEEP, but someone woke her up and told her police were outside and her car was being towed.
Police say the Flock system had linked her 2012 Hyundai Elantra to a sh00ting near Gilpin Court and body camera footage shows the officers shining flashlights through her windows.
At one point, one of them seemed to doubt they even had the right car.
They noticed her KIDS’ CAR SEATS were buckled in the back, but they towed it anyway.
Rosalyn came outside and told them flat out: “Y’all got the wrong car.”
She told them she’d been at her mom’s house all day, came home at 4, and waited for her kids to get off the bus at 5.
Nobody had driven her car.
An officer decided her story didn’t match the Flock data and said on camera that she was, “definitely not telling the truth.”
Minutes later, Seibert’s Towing hauled her car away.
If you think that was insane... well, IT GETS WORSE.
About FOUR DAYS later, she finally got a phone call.
Her car had been released FOUR HOURS after they took it... because police had already found the person they were actually looking for.
NOBODY FROM THE POLICE TOLD HER!!!!!
When she went to get her car back, she found it DAMAGED from the tow.
The towing company’s VP admitted fault in writing.
Then the claim went to insurance, and the company said it could no longer settle with her directly.
Her mechanic’s verdict:
TOTAL LOSS.
Richmond police now admit Flock cameras led them to the wrong vehicle.
Meanwhile, Rosalyn has lost wages, can’t get to work on time, and is paying for a RENTAL CAR out of her own pocket just to get her boys where they need to go.
She literally did nothing wrong and was home with her kids.
THIS IS INSANE!!!!!!!!

They burned our libraries. Stole our gold. Cut off our hands. Castrated our men. Raped our women. Worked us to death. Stole our children. Drew borders through our families. Erased our names. Banned our languages.
Then wrote books saying we had no history.
These heads are not decoration. They are memory. They are witnesses.
Guess the “black sheep” was right all along.
You let these bigots thrive and they’ll make sure you and your children remember freedom ain’t free at all times.
I’m glad to see more of you two steppers finally out here publicly speaking up. Even those of you in office!
Now why raggedy Ann pulling on this young man’s hair and acting outrageous? Smacking his face…foot on him…yeah she needs to be dealt with. She did too much.

Sixty-two years ago, on October 14, 1964, Daddy learned that he had been selected to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. He was just 35 years old.
The honor recognized his leadership in the nonviolent struggle for civil rights. He accepted it on behalf of a movement whose courage and sacrifice had shown the world the power of nonviolence.
Daddy’s philosophy calls us to confront injustice, transform unjust systems and affirm the dignity of every human being. It requires courage, discipline and love in action.
Sixty-two years later, that work remains urgent. The responsibility to advance it remains ours.
We honor my father’s legacy by practicing nonviolence in our daily lives and continuing the work to create the Beloved Community.

This is a gross abuse of power & the latest in a decade-long, racist smear campaign against a duly elected Black Congresswoman.
Trump is a coward who is weaponizing his DOJ to fuel hate & intimidate his opponents with baseless attacks like these, just like he's doing with Rep. McIver, Lisa Cook, and Tish James.
We stand with you @Ilhan.

A Berkeley chemical engineer who suffered years of unexplained illness discovered through a spy camera from Amazon that her coworker, David Xu, was poisoning her food and water with cadmium, a toxic heavy metal for nearly 18 months between 2017 and 2019. The victim experienced significant health problems and at times required emergency care at a hospital. Newly released video shows Xu appearing to put a substance in her water bottle in 2019.
Xu was arrested that year and charged with attempted murder and two counts of poisoning, offenses that could have sent him to prison for life. But under a plea deal, the attempted murder charge and one poisoning count were dropped. Xu pleaded no contest to one felony poisoning charge and received two years of probation, with credit for one day served. He completed probation in March and is now seeking to have his felony conviction dismissed.
Massa telling yall to obey or die. To comply or starve and to allow their kidnapping of your community members in silence.
Good thing I’ve never been anyone’s B and don’t plan to become one today.
Stop fearing bullies and realize once you’re on the plantation you can’t fight!

What a miserable young couple

Cornell University’s repulsive actions reminds me of a particular org who I know similarly swept SA allegations away.
Attempts to ignore the women who reported & destroy the whistleblower occurred while supporting the man.💯
It must be the standard lesson of their professor’s💎
How many people have died in this city due to nycha conditions? Everyone loves to ignore or pass the blame but real heartbeats have stopped and no one cares about the names! Physical life-long health conditions are obtained and there’s no housing comp nor true disability claims.

ICE cuts off power to house full of kids—break in glass windows with no warrant.
"I was at home with my 1 year & 5 months old baby," mom said.
"And I'm 6 months pregnant!"
Agents finally turned power back on after 3 family members arrested.
But leave mom & kids behind with no way to safely lock up the house with the front windows still broken.
"I was so scared to post these videos, but not anymore!" mother said.
"I want families, friends, and everyone else to see what cruel people ICE are."
Incident occurred inside a home in Palm Beach, Florida.
She doesn't have an active account on this platform—so posting first full length, English language, and credited video here to help raise awareness.
