Hi I’d like to share a story and would extremely appreciate it, if you guys can REBLOG & SHARE.
Okay, so this is my cousin Hanad Abdullaziz. He’s a 21 year old Somalian male. On Tuesday June. 23rd, 2015 in Surrey, British Columbia (Canada) he was driving in his neighbourhood. When the police suddenly stopped him. Hanad was confused as to why he was being pulled over, so he asked the undercover officer’s. The officer’s immediately smashed his window and dragged him out of the vehicle. They viciously started beating him until he was almost unconscious.
Hanad was getting brutally beaten for about five minutes. He was screaming for his life, “STOP I’M A STUDENT, I DIDN’T DO NOTHING.” These six under cover officers were accusing Hanad of being involved in recent shootings that have been happening in city of Surrey,BC since January of 2015. Between Somalis and Punjabis over drug turf.
When they finally stopped beating Hanad, they announced that the reason they pulled him over was for not signalling. Hanad suffered from multiple bruisings, cuts and a broken arm. He has since been traumatized, and does not feel safe. His family has hired a lawyer and are hoping for justice.
The police have been targeting young black innocent males since January, 2015 in Surrey, BC. But this is the first time it has come to an unjust assault. I share this story with you guys today because we can’t keep quiet anymore. An innocent young BLACK male has yet again been battered by the police. We need to let the public know. These men with authority stay abusing their power. And this is becoming too common for minority’s. The family has reached out to multiple news reporters and are being ignored.
So PLEASE share and REBLOG because Black lives matter and police brutality needs to stop. #BlackLivesMatter #StopPoliceBrutality #JusticeforHanad
Everything that happens to you is a reflection of what you believe about yourself. We cannot outperform our level of self-esteem. We cannot draw to ourselves more than we think we are worth.

I interviewed a woman who is terminally ill. ‘So,’ I tried to delicately ask, ‘What is it like to wake up every morning and know that you are dying?’ ‘Well,’ she responded, ‘What is it like to wake up every morning and pretend that you are not?’
