Viktor Stevenson, a black man who is the owner of Gourmonade, told AJ+ in an interview that he was checking to see if the security system for his lemonade stand was working when four cops approached him. He said one of the officers had his hand on his gun. "The officer said 'Can you prove that this is your business?' and I said 'Absolutely. Like, I have the key,'" Stevenson told AJ+. "I opened and closed the doors." this is a fear ive always had. sometimes when working on my car i think someone is gonna think im stealing it. i know non-people of color dont understand. and i wont make you. just please stop calling the cops on us for living our lives. --- Sig <cite>Mezcla posted [p:905587037] in Black owne...
