Last night 6 police officers from the 4th district pulled over 6 college students which took an Uber from the North Side to get back to our homes from a concert. One officer said, "what do you do mop for a living, shut up and get back to your mop job." It was constant harassment as we stood on the hood of their car. There was no objection to there enforcement, we each gave our I.D.'s but it seemed that our group of 6 was suspicious to their patrolling. It was not even a minute from leaving the Uber car that we were each forced onto the hood of the car. It bothers me when we are discriminated against for no particular reason. Instead of finding the shooters in south deering their out harassing individuals for being in a group. Maybe it's our community, but there was no reason for suspicion except for our race and our numbers in the group. There was no names taken from them since they made us leave or threatened with being arrested. Wish I was able to take the name and squad car.
