So I'm catching up on the news and I come across another story of white people flexing their hatred randomly because that's what they do.
You all know my feelings on racism in the States and its continuance and this story underscores that thought once again.
Not only were the employees wrong based on a bigoted assumption, but they called the police who affirmed that assumption.
When I say white people love racism, this is what I mean. They work in concert to keep it in play

@skquinn @rey This is false. Law enforcement have many tools at their disposal. Certain ones are just emphasized over others depending on who is being policed.
We have seem plenty of examples of police de-escalting situations, which they are trained to do.
However, there is rarely a consequence when they resort to violence, especially if the victim is Black.
That's a systemic issue, not a lack of tools. The police are kept this way for a reason.
