I saw that one this morning and it was so jarring. Imagine the tables were turned. Imagine it was a Black male acting erratically, accusing a white teen, child of a long-term hotel guest, of theft (with no basis, at all), physically accosting the teen. Then imagine the hotel management turning to the white guest and demanding proof that the theft hadnât occurred, instead of taking action to sedate the accusing/accosting party.
Itâs truly beyond imagination.

COLUMBUS, Ohio â An officer on the scene of the fatal shooting of Andre Hill in Ohioâs capital city last week didnât perceive any threats and didnât see a gun, contrary to a mistaken claim by the fellow officer who killed Hill, according to records released Tuesday.
Columbus Officer Amy Detwiler said she saw a man â later identified as Hill â walk away from a car after arriving at the scene of the non-emergency call, according to a summary of her internal affairs interview released Tuesday. Coy had gotten there first. Detwiler didnât see any interaction between Hill and Coy, but said Coy told her Hill had walked into a next-door garage.
Anybody want to bet on her career longevity? Also, âmistaken claim?â They canât just say âlie?â

Looks like the NYPD is talking about consequences (if they find her):
Too bad they donât put the same energy into cases involving protestors. Like other major departments, they excuse their behavior by saying officers were surprised, unprepared, or poorly managed/staffed. However, theyâll study what they did wrong, get better training (both on the publicâs dime), and promise to do much better next time.

âThis Is How Black People Get Killedâ: Dr. Susan Moore Dies of COVID After Decrying Racist Care
DR. JOIA CREAR-PERRY: For years, we liked to blame genetics on cardiomyopathy and looking for what the gene is that makes peopleâs heart weaker. But we know that your stress, your mental health, impacts your physical health. And until we undo racism, weâre going to see Black folks having higher rates of obesity, higher rates of hypertension and higher rates of cardiomyopathy. And that throughline of racism is consistent for all of us. And thatâs whatâs shortening all of our lives. So we need that to end. . . . And thatâs what we talk about in this antiracism praxis. If I was taught in medical school, as I was â I was taught that there were three biological races â thatâs racism. Racism was not created by God. Racism was not created by medicine. Those things have been â racism was created by people who wanted to hold power and wealth. And so, our job is to fight for equality and justice and joy, and to say, âHow do we undo all these places inside of medicine where we say that Black people have different lungs or different kidney capacity or different pelvis shapes?â All this talk that we have a different shape of our pelvis, how could that possibly be, when itâs just melanin production that makes us different? Thatâs the only one difference. Our pelvis and our melanin have nothing to do with each other.

She literally attacked them, and itâs on video. I really donât understand other white womenâŚ

Wow! The video of the attack there is much more egregious than what I garnered from the previously posted video that Harold had recorded. To say, âthatâs not who I am,â is ridiculous. The fact that she hasnât yet even offered a sincere and heartfelt apology speaks volumes.
Iâm with you @anon61221983, I donât get these white women. They mustâve had a much more coddled and enabling upbringing than me. Iâd never think I had the right to behave as any of these Karenâs do.

Itâs baked into our white DNA, being able to act before thinking with (generally) few consequences up to the age of social media. I mean, just look at how it would have played out if there hadnât been video. The cops wouldâve believed the damn manager, too.

Meh⌠I rarely buy the âitâs human natureâ arguments on stuff like this, honestly. Our behavior towards each other tends to be learned, not innate, I think. And she clearly was taught that the only person who matters is herself.
But yeah, without video, this would have been a very different story, with the cops arresting the father and son rather than looking into the young womanâs behavior at all.

Not to speak for knoxblox, but I read âbaked into our white DNAâ as basically âbaked right into the core of the false consciousness that is the very idea that one is âwhite.ââ
