From Festivity to Felony...

The celebration of individual success is often marked by gatherings that bring friends and family together, creating an atmosphere of joy and anticipation. However, the unfortunate reality is that some of these celebrations can spiral into chaos, turning into crime scenes characterized by fights, drug use, vandalism, and assault. This transition from festivity to felony introduces a complex layer of societal and systemic issues, particularly in how law enforcement approaches such incidents, especially in marginalized communities. It raises critical questions about the motivations and actions of local police as well as federal agencies, particularly concerning their interactions with Black and Brown individuals, which fosters a troubling dynamic in the justice system.
