Alabama Police Strangle and Rip Clothes From Woman’s Body Over Plastic Utensil Dispute

As if it weren’t enough that Starbucks finds itself embroiled in controversy after one of its store managers in Pennsylvania called the cops on and had two Black realtors arrested simply for being at the location, employees at a Waffle House in Mobile, Alabama just called the police on a Black woman who was upset that she was told she would be charged extra for plastic utensils to go along with her food order. The Saraland police arrived and violently ripped the woman’s clothes, exposing her naked body. You can see the cops behaving like wild savages in the video below:

Cindy,
Good question, but I’m afraid we can’t get lower. I’m pretty sure that before cell phone video, there were many other cases like this and complaints ended up “unsubstantiated”.

Police abuse Chikeisha Clemons black woman at a Waffle House for asking why she has to pay extra for plastic untensils.
Meanwhile , Travis Reinking the white racist Waffle House killer can shoot 8 people kill 4, most if not all of them non white and police don’t abuse him at all.

Chuquest,
The double standard screams out. When the one cop put his hands on her throat, I caught my breath.
