Unnamed Oral History Interview – 2140

Transcription:

Interviewer:  Jones, Jasmine (JJ)

Interviewee: Unnamed (B)

JJ: So, tell me about your stories with police violence or anything you’d like to share with us.

B: Okay. Well, what I want to say is that it’s too much double-sided action going on like illegal and legal, you know, coming from police officers in the city…and sheriffs. But let me see if I can think of anymore…false information, and that’s real bad.

JJ: What do you think could be done about this, if anything?

B: The only thing I could think of that could be done is just hire good officers, you know?

JJ: Yeah

B: That’s the only thing I could think of.

JJ: Yeah. Have you had any experience with police violence? Or do you know of anybody with?

B: Yeah, you know, but that’s really the only thing because I know all about it, knew all about it, so it’s not really anything that they could pull on me. So that’s the only thing I could think of.

JJ: Yeah

B: Yeah

JJ: Is there anything else you want to share? Things that people should know about?

B: Just invasion of privacy. That includes false information. That’s it.

JJ: Thank you for sharing.
