Pretty much anyone I see outside. I don't leave my room much anymore.

Have you ever been choked and slammed down to the ground by police for your dehumanizing stares?

Florida police say the “dehumanizing stares” a 14-year-old boy directed at officers together with his body language presented a threat, prompting an arrest and a brutal take down by cops — that was caught on video by the teen’s mother.
Tremaine McMillian claims he was just having fun on Haulover Beach in Miami on Memorial Day Monday when police patrolling the beach on ATVs saw the teen rough housing with a friend - and stopped to intervene, WBFS-TV reported.

McMillian says he was bottle-feeding his tiny puppy when police approached him. He said he urinated on himself as officers choked him.

“I feel that should never have happened,” McMillian told the TV station. “I don’t like it. I feel sad. He got in front of me on the ATV and he slammed my hand. Then he started choking me. Then my 6-week old pit bull mix named Polo got hurt and bruised his front paw when the police grabbed me and slammed me down. It makes me feel sad.”

But Miami-Dade Police Detective Alvaro Zabaleta said McMillian’s “behavior was unacceptable” and that the teen resisted officers, who asked him repeatedly where his parents were.

“Of course we have to neutralize the threat,” Zabaleta said. “When you have somebody resistant to them and pulling away and somebody clenching their fists and flailing their arms, that’s a threat.”
