I was 8 years old when this occurred. Didn’t understand what was going on, but I knew it wasn’t the norm.

I know I can be extra critical of my own (Dominicans) on this blog, but I can’t say there was any day I ever read about in my people’s history in the United States where I have been so proud.

Shouts to Ricky Flores with this timeless collection and R.I.P to Jose “Kiko” Garcia. Just another example of the police murdering an innocent civilian and getting away with it.

*Update: The man wasn’t innocent and the comments on this topic have made me revisit giving Kiko that title.

I was still proud of the protest though. I feel the protest wasn’t in support of Garcia; although there may have been folks stupidly glorifying him. But I was proud to see a community so laid back on these types of issues, finally show some backbone*
