    8 patrol cars for a bannanna. I’ll bet that community feels super safe at night knowing their bannannas are safe

    I’m sorry having to be the one to say it, but she’s obviously lying. The officers have body cameras, so when she and her father don’t get a huge settlement from this, that’s why.

    Store workers need to stop following Black people around stores. That’s what I’m understanding was the main factor here… Stop making racism your job, you have a real job that needs your fucking attention.

    While the daughter in this clearly went over the top, what’s concerning to me is this:

    He was then detained, according to the affidavit, which says he was arrested on a charge of resisting officers without violence.

    If you can be arrested for nonviolently resisting arrest, then you’re not free.
