FREEDOM IS LIBERATION

Freedom is Liberation
Freedom is the way of life
Freedom is a necessity
Oppression and Barriers are the Oppressors use
of restriction

Freedom is curiosity
Freedom brings joy and memories
Restrictions and Barriers are built
to be liberated

Freedom is an opportunity
to discover something special and new
a baby bird has to leave the nest
to be unleashed to the new world
to be independent and provide for itself and learn mistakes
one day the open door will close
the bird will fly
the sky will be reached
the freedom will come

FEAR OF POLICE

EXPO TOPIC ESSAY

My group called FEAR OF POLICE. In the book The Outsiders we have been taking notes and noticing fear and oppression from police. Also we looked back on our own experiences and lives and use those as well as another option to use.
Some oppressors that are in this topic is the police AKA fuzz, 5-0 and others you can think of. People fear the police because they have authority and the right to arrest you and put you in jail or prison. They also have special weapons that can fatally kill you. Some people are afraid because of the things police do out of fear for example Oscar Grant. A young African American male that was on his way home on New Years that was shot and killed for no particular reason. That’s just an example of numerous incidents that happened when an innocent person was shot.
So after Oscar Grant was killed by Johannes Mehserle he was sent to trial. Now any man that killed a man and had that much evidences the man will be sentence 25 years to life at least. But since the man was a cop and the jury was mostly white and he was let off with 2 years. The system the judicial branch helps the cops out and that is why people fear the police. They are afraid of being judged by their sexual status, class or skin color.
People that are afraid of the police and did something wrong try to run away, head to a different state. They are also very anxious they will get caught. They are really scared of going to jail and being in there for a long time. So they run away from their problem.
Some connections or an experience I have with the police is when I seen my neighbor that sold some weed to an undercover cop and was arrested. He was tazered 2 times and thrown to the ground 2 times also. He was sent to prison for a year. That was horrible to see.

COLLEGE FOR ALL ESSAY

It all started when my grandmother boarded a plane and flew to Oakland. My mother was born a few years after. Then I was born when my mom was 22. I live on 82nd. But the placed I lived was very violent and hot (a lot drug selling). So we lived in west Oakland (ghosttown). That was very violent also. So now we live on Fruitvale.
One word that describes my family is considerate. They are very considerate and honest. They help you when you are in need and very dependable. They will love you and wouldn’t turn on you if you did something mischievous. I love my family and they love me back. One major issue that I’m apprehensive about is misconceptions with the police department. I am afraid personally because I am a black teenager and police are shooting teens these days. I try to pass prescriptions everyday because I don’t want to fall under others prescriptions. I chose to break barriers and pass prescriptions because if you fit the descriptions and you act the way they assume you will you made their day. They feel their superior than the citizens.
College means a higher education than high school. Now you are grown and you have to maker your own decisions. You have to practice how to deal with your money. It is a choice to study your career that will choose in the future. College connects to your family because they are proud of you and they want you to succeed in life .
