Cops Raid Black Woman’s Home, Seize 7 Phones, And 3 Computers After A Neighbor Called The Police To Report She Was Listening To Malcom X In Her Yard!

At about 10:00 p.m. Thursday, a swarm of Garner cops banged on Mikisa Thompson’s door, demanding that she and her family step outside. Police cars had flooded the street in front of her split-level house on Vandora Springs Road, red and blue lights flashing. At first, her children hid in the upstairs bathroom. But then they realized that Thompson was alone. So, with a cell phone broadcasting the incident on Twitter, they headed downstairs as she opened the door.



At least a half dozen police officers stood outside. More were waiting in the street, partially blocking traffic. They read her a search warrant. They spread out through the house, seizing a MacBook, an HP laptop, a computer monitor, seven iPhones, computer speakers, an alarm clock, and charging cables. On their way out, they issued Thompson a summons to appear in court on June 24.



Her alleged crime: violating the town’s noise ordinance, a class-3 misdemeanor, which carries a maximum penalty of a $500 fine.



Specifically, her white neighbor had complained that she’d played Malcolm X speeches too loudly. Posted By Ghost
