I was racially profiled, illegally searched, and arrested for having my legal unconcealed weapon in a open carry state. The officer charged me as a 35 year old felon who has my same name. Also charged me with “intent to distribute” even tho I only had a grinder. They set my bail at $250,000 and I’ve spent the last week in jail awaiting trial because Louisiana police can’t distinguish a 24 year old black college student from a 35 year old felon. It would mean a lot if you could help me with legal costs to defend myself from being exploited by a racist system.
