Targets of the Police
At a recent CUAPB meeting I was informed that the Minneapolis police force has started this program that allows them to target Somali, and Muslim youth. Because they fear that they might have some sort of ties to “extremist” groups over seas. The U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is going to use Minneapolis as a testing ground for this program and then he is going to try and make it a national program. This program does not come as a shock to me, Muslims have been targeted by the police since 9/11. However if the police are targeting us Muslims then who are we supposed to turn to when we’re in need of help?
