Ever hear the expression “mugged by reality?” Well, that is exactly how I would describe what happened to a well-known local Black Lives Matter activist when he had to call police after being mugged by a black criminal.
Via The Blaze:
Black activist Ali Muhammad has become known in the Tampa area for speaking out against police violence and ending black crime.
And make no mistake: “I’m very anti-police,” he told WTVT-TV.
But Muhammad recently was granted a whole new perspective on what goes into law enforcement and the good that can come out of it.
He was robbed at gunpoint over the last weekend in July — a victim of black-on-black crime, the station said — and quickly called 911. …
Soon police spotted 18-year-old Antwan Robertson, chased him to a parking lot and corralled him behind a dumpster. And besides getting back his jewelry and backpack — where his laptop and ID were stored — Muhammad has a new appreciation for police.
“I congratulated the police,” Muhammad told WTVT, adding that while he’s “very anti-police” he’s “not against police relations and community relations.”
“Police can be hostile and very belligerent,” he added to the station. “Friday night, I met some officers who [were] about business, and that was getting a bad guy off the street.”
Yeah, presumably this was a fluke and Muhammad must have gotten some of the rare good apples on the Tampa police force. The others were no doubt off chasing and shooting at innocent black men that night…
It turns out, police CAN serve a purpose! Who knew?
