So this just happened... and it makes me wonder if we need a proper chronicling of this sad, sad state of affairs since it seems to be happening more and more often as sadly in this country, the demand for racism in the world often seems to exceed supply.
That's right, a 21 year old Senior Black Texas A&M student who just happens to be a Black Lives Matter activist was targeted by racists who left three notes on his windshield including hateful statements like "All Lives Matter" and use of the N-word on one note. Like a good citizen who wants to defund the police, he contacted the police about this hate crime and the police in due diligence investigated the crime.
The student in question stated he has declined cooperating with police and has contacted an Attorney for some reason.
Texas A&M police say student who reported racist notes placed them there himself
In a report released to KBTX on Thursday, police at Texas A&M University said a student who reported finding racist notes on his car’s windshield last month may have placed the papers there himself. However, the 21-year-old at the center of the case strongly denies those claims.

KBTX-TV said:Around 12:55 p.m., Martin is seen on video walking back to his car.
Police wrote in their report, “Martin immediately walks to the passenger side of his vehicle, but does not open any doors. Martin is seen toward the front of his vehicle. A brief white speck is seen from about mid-torso of Martin moving toward his vehicle. Another white speck is seen near his chest area. Martin is then seen stepping back and onto the sidewalk in front of his vehicle, most likely taking photos and videos. He then approaches his vehicle again on the passenger side and remains there for a few moments. He is then seen walking around the front of his vehicle. Martin then enters the driver`s door and drives away a few moments later. The total time spent at his vehicle is 1 minute, 15 seconds.”
Police said in the report it was “difficult to distinguish any characteristics of the suspect in the video” but “based on video evidence, no other person had enough time to place the messages on Martin`s car other than himself.”
The report goes on to say, “the other individuals that walked past Martin`s vehicle were not hidden for more than 5 seconds, and would have had to reach over the hood to place the notes.”
“He was the only person with enough time to place the notes on his car,” said police.
The student in question stated he has declined cooperating with police and has contacted an Attorney for some reason.
