Calling the police on black people in the United States is a form of racial terror.
is a Teen Vogue column by Jenn M. Jackson, whose queer Black feminist perspective explores how today's social and political life is influenced by generations of racial and gender order. In this article, she examines the recent onslaught of police violence against black Americans when compared to the gentleness toward known white killers, and how calling the police often results in violence against black people.
I have heard this declaration from other black people at least 12 dozen times over the course of my life. Like me, they grew up believing that police response should be used as a last resort, if a resort at all, to any situation that might require help. They understood that police are quick to act violently and when they are called, they are too often looking for us: the black, the working-class, the poor, the unemployed, the whatever-else-that-fits-the-description.
