The morning after a grand jury decided not to indict the NYPD officer who killed Eric Garner using an illegal chokehold, EBONY.com Senior Editor Jamilah Lemieux invited her Twitter followers to talk about their encounters with the police.
The outpour of encounters came in immediately, and ranged widely, from criminal profiling...
to threats of lethal force...
to frisking and other harassment...
and suspecting the validity of their own harm...
Lemieux also shared her own personal experience with the police.
