Walking While Wearing A Hoodie In Tampa

Robert Washington was walking home from a convenience store to eat a sandwich one hot July evening. This should have been without incident. However, a Tampa Police Officer staked him out
and then followed him. 

---

She pursued him and demanded his time and attention, to which he, within his rights, said No! Robert just wanted to go home and eat his sandwich in peace. However, the police officer could not take no for an answer. She continued to harass Robert--but Robert stood his ground and would not let her take up any more of his time. That's when she told him she needed to speak with him because "he was wearing a hoodie" and "looked like somebody". 

---

As he attempted to enter his own home, he was attacked by several police officers, who brutally took him down and arrested him.

Local Treasure Deanna Hardy-Joseph

Accept and be Educated. I know it's hard for many and the death of my child has been crucial to me, but this right here is definitely necessary dialogue for all. You remember my son Andrew Joseph, III my 14 year old son who was captured and later killed, when his first encounter with Hillsborough County Sheriff Deputies in Tampa, FL was his last encounter well reality has demonstrated that his black life didn't matter, his safety didn't matter, his loving parents awaiting him to return home didn't matter, a phone call to his parents didn't matter. His lost of life and stolen future didn't matter. He wasn't worthy of protection, safety or a valid homicide investigation where the Florida Highway Patrol Corporal wouldn't develop selective amnesia which entailed forgeting the policies and procedure of a homicide investigation. You see this corrupt system doesn't work for Black victims or there survivors. however, it seems to be working well for the most privileged. here
