Activist Keiajah Brooks Alleges Kansas PD is Tracking her

Keiajah Brooks, the activist who made headlines after a video of her dragging members of the Kansas City Board of Police Commissioners went viral, is alleging the Kansas City Police Department has been tracking her.

Brooks took to social media and shared screenshots of harassing phone calls and outright threats, as well as a chilling post detailing several ways the department may try to murder her and spin her death.

“We know that you hire civilians to help silence people you don’t want heard or whose families you want to intimidate,” she wrote after tagging the police department’s official social media account.

@kcmopolice we know that you hire civilians to help silence people you don’t want heard or whose families you want to intimidate. you’ve intimidated the families of victims of KCPD into complete silence by harassing and following them or worse (and we have watched worse occur personally.) i will not make my security situation known, but if you would like to aid in getting me security, my cash app is in my bio. (AND I PAY TAXES ON IT KCPD, SO TRY ANOTHER WAY OF GETTING ME LOCKED UP.) 🚨🚨 i will also add the disclaimer that i do not indulge in any illegal substances or involve myself in ANY nefarious activities. i do not suffer from any mental illnesses or ideations. i have no intentions or plans of harming myself or any one else… 🚨🚨 remember 818.

sorry for the flood. but look how they did brother Fred Hampton. this number has been calling me all day (6 times) TWICE when i was in atchison KS. TWICE when i was in mission KS. and TWICE here. and saying nothing. if you call it, there’s a long beep and silence. i’m pretty sure this is how KCPD has been tracking me.

TRIBE 🚨🚨🚨 and so it begins. KCPD has followed me all day. – this SAME CAR “818” drove through my photo shoot downtown at 4:00 today. – 818 then appeared on 35th and Prospect as i was doing trunk or treat at 6:00. 35th and Prospect is ten minutes away from downtown and would be FAR out of their policing route. – i was in Mission KS and they couldn’t follow me all the way out there because it’s not their jurisdiction. – i then was sitting in my car today at 11:00 and 818 drove through my PRIVATE APARTMENT COMPLEX PARKING LOT not once, not twice, but three times as i sat in my car to try to intimidate me. not knowing i’ve seen the white girl in the passenger seat ALL DAY. she was with a black male officer earlier and now she’s with a white male officer. the third video is me confronting them and them attempting to gaslight me into think they just happened to roll into MY PRIVATE apartment complex at the same time as i got home. there’s a public street that’s right there. you would not need to cut through here AT ALL unless you LIVE here. y’all see this right? let me just preface that i do not suffer from any mental illnesses or ideations. i have no intentions or plans of harming myself or any one else…

During the now-viral meeting, Brooks lambasted panel members for using Black children as props when it suits their agendas.

“I don’t want reform. I want to turn this building into luxury, low cost housing. These will make some really nice apartments to me. Firstly, stop using Black children as photo opportunities because they’re cute now. But in 10 years, they’re [a] Black male suspect in a red shirt and khaki shorts. Eating cookies and drinking milk with children does not absolve you. Okay?”

She continued: “Your complicity in their oppression and denigration, Rick Smith — ’cause Kansas city will spend more on police than education and then try to encourage children to feast with their oppressors.”
