We just got word again that they've moved Rashid to the area where the Aryans are. They have threatened him and said explicitly what they intend on doing . Sargeant Joshua McAllister told #Rashid exactly "I'm an old school dirty cop. I've been doing this since I was a teenager. We know how to set it up and make it look justified. You must not know about us. We are worse than the Klan...We have a unit called J-1 where we execute inmates. We starve 'em. We hang 'em..." (Part 2)

This concerns the incarcerated New Afrikan organizer Kevin "Rashid" Johnson of the Revolutionary Intercommunal Black Panther Party: https://rashidmod.com/. He was originally incarcerated in Virginia, but has been transferred to Oregon, Texas, Florida, Indiana and now Ohio to stop his organizing. More info can also be found on his wikipedia page.
