Texan cops arrest woman of color for allegedly defending herself against sexual predator in public restroom.
Cops arrest another innocent. Why are we trusting these white-male-dominated institutions to police minority communities? Wake up, people. The system is broken and designed to oppress, not protect. Police arrested 32-yo Hannah Morgan-Barber yesterday, in yet another statistic of the carceral state's war on people of color and women.

Woman Shot by Far-Right Extremist While Using Bathroom
A far-right extremist attacked and shot a woman, a city employee, in a public bathroom at a skate park in Leander, Texas, on Friday. The victim, 31, was fortunately able to survive the attack, thanks to quick medical attention.
The extremist, Hannah Morgan-Barber, 32, fled the scene after shooting the victim once. Her bigotry and hatred led her to target a innocent woman simply going about her work, cleaning the park facilities.
The police, in their ongoing investigation, found Morgan-Barber a short time later, just three miles from the park. She was taken into custody and a pistol was seized. She now faces charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
It is clear that this was a hate-crime and an attempt to terrorize and intimidate. We must stand firm against such extremist actions and offer support to the victim of this horrific attack.
