Racial Profiling

I’m writing this on Friday, December 26, 2025, the 163rd anniversary of the Mankato hangings of the Dakota 38+2 ordered by Abraham Lincoln.

The Bom Homme County sheriff’s office created a post on their Facebook page. I’ll put it here for you in case you haven’t seen it yet.

It says “Bon Homme County residents: I received a call this morning from the Knox County sheriff [in Northwest Nebraska] informing me that they have had multiple occupied home invasions since Christmas Eve.

The suspects are believed to be younger Native American males traveling in a black Chevy Monte Carlo.

If you experience a home invasion, you have no duty to retreat your home is your castle and you have every right to defend your family and your property read up on South Dakota’s Castle doctrine to understand what you need to articulate. Should you have to defend your home from these men for home defense, I recommend a 12-gauge shotgun with 00 buck or 88 kept in arms reach.

We will be looking for the suspects in our area and will hopefully get them off the street soon. Until then be sure to lock vehicles out buildings and your homes, stay vigilant, stay prepared,

Sheriff Maggs.”https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064354132612

When police say suspects are believed to be younger Native American males, this is known as racial profiling by law enforcement. Again, the statement that “suspects are believed to be younger Native American males,” is racial profiling. Also, describing weapons to keep nearby is like condoning killing someone. I understand you can defend yourself in your own home when somebody breaks in your home while you’re there, but to describe the actual weapon to use is an inflammatory remark to entice violent acts. Knox County is in Nebraska where Bon Homme County has no jurisdiction.

I had to research the story more so I went and visited the Knox County sheriff’s office Facebook page, but I saw no post referring to this alleged incident. there was no mention on their page about any home invasions involving alleged Native American males driving a black Monte Carlo.

The Knox County news Facebook page stated there were two occupied break-ins occurred since Christmas Eve. The first was a home east of Lindy Nebraska on Christmas Eve and the second one was a business this morning near Verdigree there were no injuries in either incident At the business, the owner did show a firearm to the suspect who immediately retreated.

This suggests to me that Knox County Sheriff is reaching out and sharing racial profiling information with law-enforcement from South Dakota about how they “believe” there are younger Native American males traveling in a black Chevy Monte Carlo committing home invasions.

Unfortunately, I think we will see more racial incidents like this. For instance, I watched a video of a man bleeding on a street in California over Christmas weekend. The 1904 News Facebook page posted last week about a Native American Man Killed in Deputy-Involved Shooting During Pow Wow in Imperial Beach. The post reads “On Sunday, December 21, 2025, at approximately 1:40 PM, near Evergreen Avenue and Seacoast Drive in Imperial Beach, a man in his 40s was fatally wounded in a deputy-involved shooting near the Imperial Beach Pier.

Authorities confirmed the man was transported to UCSD Hillcrest Medical Center in CPR status with multiple gunshot wounds to the front of his body, where he was later pronounced deceased. No deputies were injured during the incident.

Due to large crowds in the area, several surrounding streets were shut down. The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department requested assistance from allied agencies, including the San Diego Police Department and the Chula Vista Police Department, to assist with crowd control. The public was asked to avoid the area as the scene was secured.

According to witness accounts, the incident occurred in front of a busy Indian Powwow event taking place near the pier. Witnesses stated the man may have been armed with an obsidian rock-type weapon or knife. Multiple agencies responded due to the size of the crowd and heightened tensions in the area.

A vendor who witnessed the shooting from his stand provided an interview but requested not to be shown on camera. The identity of the deceased has not been released, and the circumstances surrounding the shooting remain under investigation.

This is an active investigation. Updates will be shared as more information is confirmed.”

When the now sitting president was elected last January, we saw the former South Dakota governor appointed as Secretary of Homeland Security. Consequently, her violent tactics embolden racist people to profile and harm people of color. Also, if you look at what the Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other police officers are doing to brown people all over the country, you can understand when I say I’m concerned about these kinds of posts from law-enforcement, especially in the red state of South Dakota. We have to be especially careful because the SD governor authorized the highway patrol officers to work in cooperation with Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) so I say please be careful. Travel with a Tribal ID and get work on getting a passport and original birth certificate. Tell people where you are going and please be safe. There are so many incidents happening across this country against Native American, Latino and Black people that it’s very dangerous to even go around anymore.
