'progressive' coffee chain 'racist'

[explicit4u]

Likely a single crewed car with the only other officer on the streets at the time in the area.

For a regular case of 'perp resting arrest' the officer in question really isn't in a position where seeking backup is a realistic proposition.

How is your quote not 'demonstrably false' if backup is literally arriving in the video?

We only have the black ladies account of the exchange between her and the other person who called the police so we might want to approach that with some caution.

'sleeping whilst black' , 'walking whilst black' etc make for great bait headlines but often don't reflect what was actually happening

It must also be that rather strange racism at play on the part of the cops given that two out of the three officers visible in the screen capture shot from the ladies video appear themselves to be Black aswell......

Still no worries there are plenty of derogatory slurs available that some 'black' people use against other 'black' people doing their jobs.

Edit:

Looks like the caller is just a bit of an overall protective loon about the common room and she has caused previous problems...

The cops also told off the caller for wasting their time and just did their duty by checking that the black student was registered there which was somewhat complicated by a difference in the name she provided the cops and the name on the Yale register.

Hardly a great example of police racism at play. Much like police ejecting and arresting two unpaying members of the public sat in a coffee shop who defied repeated requests for them to either buy something or leave the premises.

Black people in america aren't complaining about how white cops treat them, they're complaining about how all cops treat them.

The 'racism' involved here isn't about the police, it's about why white people feel the need to resort to calling the police for such mundane reasons.

As I pointed out assuming the car was backup it was very likely the only other local officer available and the cop dealing would only have been aware of their approach if their collegaue had their sirens on.

There's nothing demonstrably false about my assertion that backup for cops in lots of less populated areas is far from guaranteed so they have to deal with stuff alone most of the time.

Black people in america aren't complaining about how white cops treat them, they're complaining about how all cops treat them.

Much like the other thread with the ex UK firearms officer who had her tribunal claim against the ipcc rejected the case can be racism on the part of the black (non cop) person..... If you are black and view every negative experience (that isn't explicitly a racist incident) you have as racist then you are also a racist! Because everyone has bad experiences with others in life and these are not all about race, skin colour etc...

Unfortunately the prevailing narrative is one whereby any negative experience affecting a 'person of colour' which involves either an institution in a western nation or people not of colour (or at least lower down the progressive stack) can be asserted to be 'racist' with no additional information provided.

Hence the common perception that some people end up with a 'chip on their shoulder' from overusing the racial oppression narrative.

The caller appears to be just a bit overprotective of the common area in general. The cops were called to a suspected intruder, did their jobs by checking the status of the lady in the common room which was complicated and slightly protracted because she gave the cops a differnt name to the one she was registered with and the cops then admonished the caller for wasting their time.

Total non event if you are trying to demonstrate 'police' racism.....

You also are hinting a bit at the sort of thought that leads to some rather nasty abuse being directed at black cops in the US and police in the UK.... The perpeception that its some how to be a sell out or a lackey for the (white) man to be a cop! Come on people have been claiming that better racial diversity in the police would tackle racism (not something I personally beleive is likely to be 100% correct but hey ho) and when I point out that two of the three cops apparently answering the call are black your reply is to insinuate that they are somehow agents in the racism against blacks in the US!

So black cops dealing with blacks members of the public is now an aspect of 'white' racism?
