In reply to the discussion: "Call my momma! Oh God!" This is "mouthing off"? Only when a black girl does it. [View all]TBF
(33,367 posts)7. I have a sister who got in trouble a bit as a teen -
and the cops would drive her straight home to my mom with a "you deal with her". The officers were the age of my mom and had known her back in high school. White, midwest, small town. My guess is that it's like that in many places.
Camera person must have been white as well though I haven't read that much about the story to know all the details (but they were close up so my guess is that they would've been on the ground also if they were black).

No less than you've quickly forgotten the difference between a standard and an aberration.

The cop is a pervert too. His man-handling of the teen was so sexual in context, so obvious!
