"This is bananas.\r\nSolange Knowles posted a series of tweets on Sunday describing her&amp;#xA0;frustration with the Miami Police Department. Beyonce&amp;apos;s 25-year-old kid&amp;#xA0;sister claimed law enforcement officials were &amp;quot;discriminating&amp;quot; against her&amp;#xA0;and &amp;quot;pulled a weapon on me&amp;quot; for no legitimate reason.\r\n\r\nBut a Miami Beach Police Department spokesman tells E! News that Knowles&amp;apos;&amp;#xA0;&amp;quot;incident&amp;quot; took place outside of Miami&amp;apos;s Club Cameo when the singer and DJ wasn&amp;apos;t allowed in the venue because she &amp;quot;was in possession of a 5-foot-tall inflatable banana.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Ms. Knowles&amp;apos; demeanor caused the officers to escort her across the street to further the conversation, where Ms. Knowles claims one of the officers&amp;#xA0;pulled a &amp;apos;weapon&amp;apos; on her, not a firearm, and threatened to deflate the banana,&amp;quot; Det. Juan Sanchez tells E! News.&amp;#xA0;\r\nKnowles, who was not arrested after the incident, said she was &amp;quot;only&amp;#xA0;tweeting this to raise awareness.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I could have left quietly, but I am sick and tired of this scenario being&amp;#xA0;played over and over again,&amp;quot; the single mother of son Julez, 6, said. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m OK... I&amp;apos;m just beyond frustrated with the system. It is time to do something about it. I am a mother raising a young black child in America. I&amp;apos;m going to die trying!&amp;quot;&amp;#xA0;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
