On March 31st Renardo and Lubreeze Lewis decided to get take-out at the local International House of Pancakes (IHOP) restaurant in Marietta, GA. After waiting 30 minutes, then being told that their food was not being prepared, the coupleâs inquiry about why this happened was met with a very rude response from the IHOP staff and manger, who were white. Fortunately a video taken by a member of our Atlanta chapter of the Peoples Power Assembly shows the entire incident, which became a racist life-threatening nightmare for the couple when one of the staff called the police simply because Ms. Lewis asked for the number of the corporate office of IHOP. Mr. Lewis was subsequently kicked, punched and tazed simply for objecting to his wife being yelled at. Renardo Lewis is being illegally held with no bond set and was told heâd be in jail for one month to await trial. He is being charged with two felony counts of obstruction and assault on a police officer, in addition to other made-up charges to justify police terrorism. He remains in prison for doing nothing. Please show your solidarity with the Lewis family and tell the police that this racism will not be tolerated and to release Renardo Lewis and drop the charges now!Â
