Felipe explains that the police had initially pulled him over for riding his bike incorrectly but then started asking him where he’s going (home), where he’s coming from (soccer practice), if he’s in a gang (no), and then take his picture. He points out that his street is the next block over and that it makes little sense to cross 30-40 feet of pavement just to cross back in a couple of seconds. He also points out that he’s seen little girls riding their bikes the way he has and asks me if I think the police would have pulled them over.
I try to picture a scenario where the police pull over some of the girls I’d also seen riding “errantly” in the neighborhood, asking for their IDs, if they were in a gang, and then taking their picture - I can’t come up w/ anything. “*
