EAGLE RISING: African-American Man Gets Pulled Over then Publishes Epic Facebook Rant about Cops!

By Onan Coca / 31 October 2015

A Facebook post about one African-American man’s interaction with his local police officers has gone viral for all the right reasons.

Steven Hildreth, Jr. is an African-American man who lives in Tucson, Arizona. He also happens to carry a concealed firearm wherever he goes (don’t worry he also has a permit) and he recently had a run-in with his local police because one of his vehicle’s headlights was out. After the confrontation, Hildreth, Jr. took to Facebook to tell his friends (and a lot of other people too) exactly what just took place and why he doesn’t buy into the rhetoric of the #BlackLivesMatter crowd.
