Black Prosecutor Learning About Her Role in Racist System? Orlando Cops Pulled Aramis Ayala Over b/c she's Black
Your Government is Corrupt. "Those who participate in corrupt systems, they the traitors." KRS-One. From [HERE] An awkward video has surfaced showing two white Orlando police officers pulling over Aramis Ayala, Florida's first African-American elected state attorney.
The incident took place at around 8:14 p.m. on June 19.
In the video, two white officers have a tough time explaining to Ayala, who is not only Central Florida's state attorney but arguably the most recognizable state attorney in Florida, why she had been stopped.
You may recall that racist suspect Governor Rick Scott removed Ayala from the case against Black murder suspect Markeith Loyd after she publicly announced that she would not pursue the death penalty against Loyd. [MORE] and [MORE]. Now she is in a legal battle with the white Governnor over whether Ayala had the discretion to adopt a policy not to seek the death penalty in her district. Ayala, a Democrat who took office in January, sued the Republican governor this spring over his decision to take her off two dozen murder cases.[MORE] She has been receiving death threats, including from [white people] local government employees. [MORE] Florida's death row is 46% non-white.
"Thank you, your tag didn't come back, never seen that before, but we're good now. We ran the tag, I've never seen it before with a Florida tag, it didn't come back to anything, so that's the reason for the stop."
Ayala then asks, "what was the tag run for?" which the officer then struggles to explain.
"Oh we run tags through all the time, whether it's a traffic light and that sort stuff, that's how we figure out if cars are stolen and that sort of thing," he said, as Ayala sits in her car, clearly annoyed.
"Also, the windows are really dark, I don't have a tint measure but that's another reason for the stop."
Ayala then asks for the officers' names, saying, "Do you guys have cards on you?"
The officers don't have cards, so their names are written down on a piece of paper.
