This Is What Humiliation Looks Like When It Wears a Uniform

Watch the footage of me paraded in shackles

By this point, I am already under control.

Wrists shackled.
Ankles shackled.
No shoes.
Visible discoloration.
Restricted movement.

No resistance.
No threat.
No reason this should be anything other than medical.

Instead, I am walked uphill in full restraints.

On camera, a nurse says:

“You’re not supposed to be walking in shackles.”

Later, as I am being taken further inside, the same nurse says to the deputy:

“You’re lucky it was me. It was really bad.”

Two days earlier, I had sued the City of Sunrise in federal court.

I had just updated and filed a complaint accusing police misconduct, body-worn camera suppression, and record manipulation.

I was already challenging one Broward law-enforcement system when I was pushed into another one visibly injured, shackled, shoeless, and under complete control.

That timing matters.

This did not happen in a vacuum.

It happened within forty-eight hours of me formally escalating a federal case built around missing footage, controlled narratives, and concealed misconduct.

That is not routine.
That is not minor.
That is not ambiguous.

Demand Congressional Oversight of Federal Contractors

There's a civil rights case right now where serious allegations are piling up: discrimination, retaliation, discovery tactics that seem designed to intimidate, and allegations of cyber intrusions and financial interference targeting someone who sued a federal defense contractor.

The problem? When federal contractors—companies getting *our* tax money—face accusations like these, Congress is supposed to oversee them. But oversight committees aren't actively investigating. That means allegations can go unexamined.

I started a petition asking Congress to resume active oversight of federal contractors and investigate what's happening. Specifically, we're asking them to examine whether litigation tactics are crossing lines into retaliation, whether civil rights complaints involving taxpayer-funded contractors are getting proper scrutiny, and whether people pursuing legal claims are being protected from intimidation.

This isn't abstract—when oversight goes quiet, federal contractors can operate with less accountability. Does this feel like something Congress should be looking at? What would you want someone to do if you were facing this situation? If you think this matters, consider signing and sharing.

Gerrymandering and civil rights

All agree on non negative discrimination. Or do they?

But how about positive discrimination? This sentence closes the debate.
