Anyone who knows me knows I'm a huge fan of the #Graffiti art movement... I just found out one of the officers senselessly ambushed and murdered was a Latino of the culture who wrote POTE BBK, ran in the Vill (East Village) back in the days and had most likely grown up to become a family man, a father and responsible community resident taking a job on the force, while maintaining his love of #GrafArt... If anyone could've been a part of bridging this divide between the streets and law enforcement I'm sure Officer Ramos (POTE) would've been uniquely qualified in working towards an easing of that divide... I see the anger on the threads and somehow people think these murders are a victory for "our" side... When in all reality this is quite simply more fuel for the ignorant racist cops to behave even more brutally... Anyone who believes this is "good" for your revolution... My message to you is this: You've lost your fucking mind and your damn humanity... #wakeup #nottheway #ripramos #ripliu #pokebbk (photo credit: @glnwc @mr_freeze_u5_ftr_ked)
