As they said on “The Wire”....real police.

Native Memphian here. It has taken me a lot of therapy and a lot of real-world experiences to work through my own issues on race. I was certainly brought up to believe the same things as your coworkers.

A lot of people here think they’re not racist if they don’t use certain slurs. It’s insane.

That’s what she said

You’re right, I misheard. FAKE NEWS

If police officers were smart, and if they were willing and able to respect people’s civil rights, they’d always welcome cameras while doing their jobs. Any cop who tells people to stop recording them is a cop who considers it at least possible (if not probable) that s/he is going to do something of which s/he doesn’t…

He didn’t say Obama... He just said “The President”

I know. It’s like “Wait, what’s going on here?”

I’m a small town Canadian who lived in Memphis for several years and this is giving me flashbacks to the prime example I use to tell people about the racism I saw while living there.

Poetic justice will be fixing up the place and selling it to a black family. Then he can come back and lowball her when she puts her house on the market.

Never Seen a cop say to “keep the camera rolling”...

Yeah I actually smiled when I got to the part where the cop threatened to arrest her for her bullshit.

He should bring some friends next time. To help out, I mean.

If I was the cops, I would have been really pissed when the moron of a lady was called out on her bullshit.

“Hurry up, do it, and get out!”

Because that’s what she thought redlining was for, to ensure that black people could never invest in property.

“I’m happy to be going home now. Finna go home and see my wife, I’m about to hug her, I’m about to see my son. Maybe see another day. Didn’t go to jail.”

It feels a little bit like justice. We don’t see it often anymore in real life.

I get such a weird feeling when I see video of police doing the right thing.

Omg, this, fucking this is what is needed from cops, people minding their own business and shutting the fuck up. I am glad they told that fucking lady what is what, people are tired of that shit and need to make them shut ins so they never come out of their caves again.
