January 14, 2024:
Sheriff's department helicopter.
Circling, circling, around and around and around, broadcasting inaudible messages drowned beneath impossibly loud rotors.
"Suspect." "Black." "Armed." "Nine one one." Syllables picked out gingerly like islands in the stream of indistinguishable noise.
Nice going, Santee Sheriff's Department. With your helicopter toy and your military cosplay. Frightening every white person for miles, so that they now report every black face they encounter, and their black neighbors are unsure whether to walk or run to get indoors.
Fuckwits.
