Black Male Sanitation Worker Sentenced to 30 Days in Jail For Reporting to Work Early, Annoying Residents in Predominately “White” Town
This past Friday, a black male sanitation worker was jailed for 30 days because residents of Sandy Springs, Georgia called 9-1-1 when they heard garbage pickup before 7 am, a violation of a city ordinance. The father of two pled guilty without an attorney present but is now, along with a new attorney, seeking to withdraw the original guilty plea. The attempted husband and father of two will be allowed to serve time on the weekend so he can continue to work.
Oftentimes, the so-called mainstream media attempts to obscure the systemic maltreatment of people who are classified as black to maintain the false image of “equal treatment under the law”. The New York Times and The Daily Mail, deceitfully emphasized two well-known black celebrities who live in the area, however according to city-data.com, black people represent a mere 18% of the population. Over 60% of the people are residents who classify themselves as “white”. This predominately “white” demographic is significant since there is a system of Racism (White Supremacy) in place that criminalizes black bodies while selectively enforcing laws. As such, the White Supremacist enforcement of this city ordinance, which led to the greater confinement of a Victim of Racism for such a trivial affair, should come as no surprise.
WE CAN DO SOMETHING http://www.sandyspringsga.org/city-services/municipal-court
We can call the Sandy Springs courthouse and ask them if they’re really willing to strip a man of his rights for a racist, bullshit reason.
We can call tomorrow and demand answers. Public inquiry works!
What black man goes into a courtroom without a lawyer??
Public defenders are horrible and lawyers are expensive
you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
