The pockets—which can be stuck to a highly visible area like atop the dashboard of a car—are meant to make police traffic stops safer for those disproportionately targeted by police violence who might otherwise be assumed to be reaching for a weapon.https://jasminecsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/dsc01190.jpgDSC01190One of Andrica Cage's granddaughters passes around flowers during the vigil-march event for her son, Samuel Sterling near the second anniversary of his killing, in Kentwood, Mich., on Saturday, Apr. 18, 2026.

The memorial—which is wrapped around a tree near the Burger King where he was struck by a police cruiser—is maintained by his mother, Andrica Cage, who was prepping it that day for an upcoming vigil recognizing the second anniversary of his death at the hands of the police.https://jasminecsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/20260128_breakingtheice_js_05.jpg20260128_BreakingTheIce_js_05Barista Autumn DiMambro, makes hot chocolate at the coffee station inside Horrocks Farm Market on Monday, Jan. 26, 2026.

Chief Brown's comments were, in part, referring to Sellers' son, Lonnie Smith, who was pepper sprayed and arrested (on charges that were later dropped) on Aug. 24, 2025. Sellers rents the billboard—her form of, "senior citizen social media,” she said—with help from some local supporters and advocacy groups, including a member of the East Lansing Independent Police Oversight Commission and the Lansing NAACP.2026-04-20T17:39:09+00:00weekly0.6https://jasminecsnow.com/about-2/https://jasminecsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/img_5566.jpegIMG_5566https://jasminecsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/img_5554.jpegIMG_5554https://jasminecsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/dsc04550.jpeg***DSC04550https://jasminecsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/dsc00497.jpegDSC004972026-04-20T17:24:33+00:00weekly0.6https://jasminecsnow.com/creative-writing/https://jasminecsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/1000018638-1.jpeg1000018638https://jasminecsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/1000018655-1.jpeg10000186552026-04-20T17:16:20+00:00weekly0.6https://jasminecsnow.com/when-it-hits/2026-04-20T17:07:41+00:00weekly0.6https://jasminecsnow.com/contact/https://jasminecsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/jpeg-image-4313-9d24-55-0-2.jpegJPEG image-4313-9D24-55-0 22026-04-20T15:59:15+00:00weekly0.6https://jasminecsnow.com/blog/2026-04-17T14:48:01+00:00weekly0.6https://jasminecsnow.com/about/2026-04-17T14:47:58+00:00weekly0.6https://jasminecsnow.comdaily1.02026-04-20T17:39:09+00:00
