TX- Racist abuse caught on video

[ninij9]

Last week at 711 a young mother of color got frustrated and slapped her child . I gave her the stinky eye (because I hate it when people of Any color smack their kids in the face) and she called me a "fat white *****" here I am NOT making a thread to further fuel the flame of racist idiots everywhere. Take this as you all will.

The police are held to higher standards than the general public. (Or, are supposed to be, anyway) They are supposed to be able to refrain from acting out of anger and malice. If one cannot do that, and perform their duty to protect and serve, they should not be in their field of business. Let's not forget, police culture is a major part of the reason things are in the state that they are today. As for the relevant incident currently under discussion in this thread, one only needs to read the article for the description of the incident:

In a follow-up video, Emerald explained the build-up to her recording, saying that as her little sister was waiting in line, the white woman had said: 'Excuse the f*** out of me, you n***** monkey.' Who knows. Perhaps the young girl accidentally bumped into the racist. Would that make this language and world view acceptable to you? Rhetorical question. I'm pretty sure I know the answer.

If police are held to a higher standard, than one can argue police should receive respect. No? And the wheel goes round and round.

One could argue that, but when the police aren't holding up their end of the bargain....... They are PAID to be professional and law abiding. They know the drill when they take this job. If they want to enjoy the respect that the badge may have previously garnered, then they are going to have to get their house in order and earn back the public's trust. In any event, this is OT. We are talking about racial abuse hurled at a 15 year old girl and her family, and thank goodness, big sister had the presence of mind to film it.

This came out of a news item - an on air reporter witnessed the incident and wrote about it to show people even Maine has racists. The mother from the incident wrote this:

The Painful Lesson My Little Girl Learned When She Heard the N-Word for the First Time

Yet, as a mixed-raced family in a white space, the reality is that anytime we leave our house as a family, we risk incurring the wrath of the ignorant and hateful. To partake in the joys of the first treats of spring can turn ugly without notice and, sadly, a visit to Maine&#8217;s most populous city yesterday was the day when the ugly became personal and my nine-year-old daughter learned that there are people who will never know her essence but instead will reduce her to nothing more than a n*****.

....

So, that&#8217;s what happens when you go out on a gorgeous spring day and you&#8217;re Black. Your humanity, security and even dignity can get snatched away in a second. You feel the pain, you try not to let it utterly consume you, and then you take it and stick in the jar and keep it moving.

This is about the anchor's facebook post and what came next:

Mixed-race family's racist abuse shocks Maine after local news anchor witnesses man shout 'Hey n*****s!' at them and shares her horror on Facebook

Well, the police hear and think that, and in fact swear an oath to honor their professional code of ethics. Just like I have professional responsibilities and ethics as a nurse that I don't necessarily have to rely on in my private life.

From: Ethics Training for Police http://www.policechiefmagazine.org/...=display_arch&article_id=1054&issue_id=112006

Police officers are held to a higher standard of behavior by society, because they are stewards of the public trust and are empowered to apply force and remove constitutional privileges when lawfully justified. They take an oath of office, are expected to comply with professional codes of ethics, and are subject to various laws, rules, and regulations.

C'mon folks. Animlzrule started this thread with the best of intention and already it has deteriorated into argumentive and disrespectful responses.

Posts have been removed. If you cannot post without personalizing and bickering, best you don't post at all.

No one working any job should behave this way - especially while on the clock or on duty. Imagine if the restaurant staff had joined in!

An embarrassed Eddington asked the girls to wait at the tables at the back of the restaurant. When she arrived Emarald was running Facebook Live and LaJoy was crying with her head on the table. LaJoy, who Eddington describes as a sensitive people person, was previously a White Middle School student. At that middle school, LaJoy underwent restorative discipline, which helped turn her from a troubled student into a class leader and model student as profiled by the Express-News in 2015.

It's bizarre, the attempts being made to assassinate the character of this young girl and her family, in effect, to revictimize her, while the perpetrators of this racial abuse are being given the benefit of the doubt and/or a free pass. It's on video, for all the world to see, and some still insist on persecuting the victim. Whatever might be the reason for this, I cannot guess.....

Where are you seeing this?

 

[jennapuppy]

I don't understand the desire to demonize this family in order to justify the vile language used against them. So far, there's no evidence that they were behaving inappropriately or using disrespectful language themselves and, even if that evidence does emerge, it doesn't justify it IMO - two wrongs don't make a right, be the bigger person, and all that jazz.

What are you talking about? I want to know where the OP saw what was posted.

Throughout this thread.

I don't see any posts on this thread like that. Maybe they were removed by a mod.

There are still plenty of them up but dissecting the thread isn't going to do anyone any good. If you're not seeing those particular posts or the responses to them I don't know what to tell you.

I don't see any that match the description from the OP. If you see any that are "persecuting or re-victimizing the victim" I would alert on them. They don't belong on this thread. JMO
