Donald Barnet is a white man who uses the Garner Police Department as his way to terrorize and criminalize my family for living next door to him. His actions have proved to me that he would like to return to a time in history where Black women and children bow down to his existence or stance on anything.

Due to the fact that my mere presence alone brought the police out. I am again reminded that my living is my resistance.

George Floyd’s Fayetteville Home Going Service
There are no coincidences in what I uncovered while simply trying to pay my respects to a Black man lynched by police.
