#DiningWhileBlack: Student Waiting To Order Forced Away By Food Truck Co-Owner
Florida Cop Says His Chief Instructed Him To Frame 2 Black Men For Crimes They Didn’t Commit
A Portland eatery is get- ting slammed after a Black customer said he was dis- criminated against by the co-owner of Chicken & Guns food truck as he waited for restaurant to open so he could grab a bite to eat before taking a final exam, Eater.com re- ports.
Kevin Raysor, claimed food truck co- owner Dustin Knox, a white man, summoned for a cop to remove him from the premises and said that Raysor was “loitering” and homeless. Raysor’s friend Jason Keebler shared the story on social media, saying it was racist and it went viral.

Anytime you see the State of Florida mentioned in a headline or a story, you know there is going to be something crazy involved, and this is no exception.
According to the reports, that investigation just widened after another officer, 37-year-old Guillermo Ravelo, pleaded guilty in a Miami federal court Thurs- day to a conspiracy charge. Ravelo, who was fired ear- lier this year, admitted to vio- lating the civil rights of two black men—one who was falsely charged with a pair of home break-ins in 2013, and the other who was charged with five vehicle burglaries in 2014. Ravelo also pleaded guilty to the use of excessive force in connection with a 2013 traffic stop in Biscayne Park when he punched a handcuffed suspect in the face.
As a result of Ravelo’s ad- mission, prosecutors are ex- pected to add an additional charge to Atesiano’s civil
rights conspiracy indictment. Additionally, Fernandez and Dayoub are expected to change their pleas to guilty at an upcoming hearing on Aug. 3.
According to the Herald, after Atesiano reportedly in- structed Ravelo to arrest Clarens Desrouleaux, 39, for two unsolved home break- ins, Ravelo signed two arrest affidavits in which he falsely claimed that Desrouleaux had confessed to the crimes.
In February 2014, Ate- siano allegedly instructed Ravelo to arrest 31-year-old Erasmus Banmah for five unsolved vehicle burglaries even though there was no ev- idence connecting him to the crimes.
For his part, Atesiano has denied the allegations against him and pleaded not guilty. He is still awaiting trial. His attorney, Richard Docobo, believes that the officers who have flipped on Atesiano are only doing so to reduce their federal time.
The NYPD have in custody an alleged rapist, who con- fessed to killing six women that he tracked and stalked on the Tinder dating App, re- ports the NY Daily News.
Danueal Drayton was al- ready identified as a suspect in the vicious murder of a NYC nurse when police tracked him down in Califor- nia, where he was holding a woman hostage in a North Hollywood apartment, sources told the Daily News.
Drayton then confessed to six more brutal killings spanning across the country.
“My body did this, not my mind,” a police source quoted Drayton as telling investiga- tors. “I didn’t want to do this. My body made me do this.”
Drayton has been ac- cused of murder by stran- gling of 29-year-old Samantha Stewart on July 17 after they met on the Tinder dating app. Police describe Drayton as a sexual predator who lured unsuspecting women through the dating app.

knocked out.
“Our priority was to get a
very dangerous person off the street,” said NYPD Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea.
“The pressing need was to get this guy off the street be- fore someone else gets hurts.”
The accused serial killer also admitted to two killings in Connecticut, the nurse murder in Queens or Nassau County, and a killing in the Bronx and Suffolk County. Police admit they are unsure if the crimes are real or if
Drayton was just rambling. “I believe that there will be
more victims,” said Shea. Cops said after Drayton killed Stewart he planned a one-way trip to California in anticipation of his next killing. He set up a date with his next victim. The police source said “cops traced Drayton’s white Ford from Stewart’s home to a Kennedy Airport parking lot, where they found the victim’s AAA card and the suspect’s release papers from a Nassau County choking arrest last
month.”
According to police, Dray-
ton’s arrest saved the life of a woman who he held cap- tive. She was rescued July 23. He met the woman for the date but tortured her.
Drayton is behind bars on $1.25 million bail on charges of attempted murder, forcible rape, sexual penetration by foreign object and false im- prisonment, according to a Los Angeles County court complaint.
He’s facing life in prison if convicted on the California charges.

Sadly, Raysor’s racist experience joins the ranks of many other incidents that have seen Black peo- ple defending themselves for doing everyday tasks
after having the cops called on them by a white person. Raysor said Knox did in fact wave an officer over his way and asked that he remove him from the front of his property. Raysor
said the cop was “polite.” Others came forward on a NextDoor thread to con-
firm Raysor’s story.
