Remember Rahul Dubuy who sheltered protestors in his Washington D. C. home? He’s now being hounded by police when he leaves his home. Here he is out for a walk being followed by a crowd of police on bicycles and in cars, flashing their lights.

[ID: An Instagram post by Rahul Dubuy @alvarezdubuy showing a screen capture of a video of the top of his head and a crowd of police on bicycles and in cars following along behind him. He says “My evening stroll brings unnecessary followers… These are OUR streets. There is nothing to see here ‘Authorities’. Keep moving and return to humanity. Godspeed.”]

Here’s the original story for those who missed it.

Reblogging with a link to the instagram post snapshotted above - it’s a full video, you can see them pacing him as he walks.

It’s all cops.

If this doesn’t bother you just on principle, fine I guess (it’s not fine but whatever). But I wanna see someone try to justify the use of resources and funding it takes for that many officers to follow one person who did nothing illegal and merely invited people into his home, which, again, is not illegal.

There are people who can’t afford to feed themselves and here we have a man being followed by no less than 10 police officers whenever he leaves his house. Defund them. We can use the money being wasted on this elsewhere.
