This has me ready to burn something down and I haven’t even watched the video.

Waffle House’s response to this is also complete and utter trash.

I haven't seen Waffle House's response. Do you have a link?

I stopped eating at Waffle House years ago, but I'd be willing to boycott other restaurants or whatever we think would be effective.

Does anyone have any ideas on how we should address the police, given Supreme Court decisions, police/union contracts, racism, etc?
How do you hit police where it hurts?
My mom and I talked about this after the Starbucks incident. How can I affect police change in states I don't live in or pay taxes in or vote in?

And to @Mingus 's point about buying black... so true. Someone tweeted something like "we shouldn't only patronize black business when our regulars disappoint us."

As for this video...I'm not watching it. I didn't watch the one of the Starbucks guys either. I can't do these videos of white folks abusing us anymore.
In response, the employee canceled the order, prompting Clemons to ask for the contact information of the Waffle House district manager who oversees the Saraland location, al.com reported.
She called the cops not because the woman threatened her or assaulted her. She called the cops because the woman wanted to go over her? I swear, we can't even peacefully protest. I don't know what the answer is at this point.

I've said this before but being black, particularly a black woman, is a jpb. I feel like I can't just live. Always gotta research first. Has this singer disrespected black women in his music? Does this TV show positively reflect me as a black woman? Do I need to boycott this company? It's exhausting.

Be wary of Whites at low level jobs. They simply cannot deal with Negros having any sort of power over them. Calling the police is their tried & true way of reclaiming their upper hand.

You can’t tell me these white cashiers and clerks don’t know that the police are going to side with them over us.

I just found out yesterday that Waffle House is the actual name of the business... Based on their statement, this definitely looks like a situation that we need to escalate to a boycott.

But we cannot continue to let the police get away with this, and just go after the easier targets. It seems we only have one tool in our toolbox, and that’s boycotts. If it can’t be boycotted, we have no idea what to do. The police are going to continue to be called, whether for valid reasons or not. When they show up, they should not be humiliating, beating or killing us. Someone needs to figure out how our community can strike back at the police departments for this. I don’t have the answers, but where are the community leaders, civil rights strategists, the NAACP (remember them?). They need to stop everything they are doing and solve this riddle.

That video has me flaming mad. We might as well be in the 1960s. How long do we have to endure this hatred and racism? I’m at a loss.

I don't think we will ever feel and see total acceptance, not in our lifetime or our children's, children's lifetime. Well at least a definite change for the better. This backward-ness is here for the long haul.

It's a sobering thought.

Police have A lot of discretion.

Boycotting businesses doesn’t address the Police. In all of these situations regardless of the business (Starbucks, Waffle House, planet fitness) the Common denominator is the Police, not doing any due diligence and just arresting people.

Police don’t need to be let off the hook. None of these recent incidents required arrest. None.

Police did a great job with the La fitness incident in Seacacus NJ. With de-escalating and not arresting. Why don’t they all do this?

Just thinking out loud.....Do we lash out at businesses because we can’t lash out on the Police???
In this case their response warrants a boycott. Every other incident that I can think of, Starbucks, Old Navy, etc, the employee involved was fired and the company issued an apology, paid off the person it happened to, etc. Waffle House is standing by the police and their employee.

Anyone else mad that the friend didnt want to fix her clothing though... :perplexed:


I'm not mad at her at all.
These fools barged in like gang busters and exposed her
the one police was pulling her clothes down when it was already
around her waist.

Then suddenly they are afraid to fix her clothes.
Nope Not me i'm not coming near

next thing you know they might have felt threatened and shot the friend
she might have been reaching for an imaginary weapon instead of her friends exposed boob.

the police have always been weaponized by racists and bigots

I seriously believe we need an stronger organization specifically for black women in order to lobby lawmakers and local politicians.Not only boycott the establishment but write in campaignes to newspapers, twitter, instagram until we're heard. We should be blasting these feminists asking them #what about us"

We're known for being loud, maybe in instances like this, we need to live up to our reputation.

This is ridiculous!
What has gotten into these white food service workers?
They think they run the world and the police are going right along with it.

Nothing has gotten into them. They’ve been doing this for a while. We are just catching them on video. Ugh. I feel like I say “I hate white people” at least once per day in my head. Race in this country is so frustrating.

Are police without the ability to think? What on earth is this? This police who attempted to choke needs to be arrested and charge with something himself. This one reminds me of the time the sick cops arrested a teen who was wearing a bathing suit. He wanted to touch on that woman! I swear some of the police officers are criminals who joined the police force to get away with doing criminal activities.

Hell, we got boycotting as one tool and don't know what to do with it. What was the goal of the Starbucks boycott before those two idiots made their deal? I read comments and think pieces that were vague but implied that the point was to boycott Starbucks out of business or until all companies stopped practicing white supremacy. Neither of those things were ever going to happen but even if it were possible to shut Starbucks down, what benefit would black people get from it? One down 9999999999999999999 to go and here it is not even a full week later and the same damn thing happens someplace unrelated.

As for the cops, there are three ways to deal with them. 1. Political influence 2. Bribery which happens far more frequently and creatively (police fundraisers/donations/community service) 3. Infiltration. Of the three options, infiltration is the most doable and would benefit the black community across the board but how many black folks want their kid to grow up to be a cop or join the force themselves?

Unfortunately many Black cops turn blue once they join the force. They tend to adapt the attitudes and behaviors of their brethren in blue.

Over fifty cents???? I’m confused. Is something missing from this story? Did the black lady threaten her life? I just don’t know. This is crazy. Black people just need to brown bag it. Even if the dining experience goes without the seemingly mandatory call to the police, I don’t want the hatred and racism tainted food in my belly. And pay my hard earned money for it?

I don’t do twitter, but black twitter should do a hashtag #brownbaggingit. Post pics of homemade meals and the estimated money NOT spent in food establishments. Its not that deep. Keep your nasty food.

There’s a black lady at work that cooks in the cafeteria. You can taste the difference when she’s not there. She puts love and care in the food. I don’t eat when she doesn’t cook because it’s crappy food cooked by cooks that don’t give a crap.

I’ve made similar statements about the Starbucks boycott, so I definitely agree with you.

As for the bolded, there are plenty of young black men in the community who aren’t doing anything at all or going anywhere at all. We need to encourage them to join the police force, the same way white people encourage their under achieving white boys to join law enforcement. Or how people in general encourage young men with limited options to enlist in the military or enroll at ICDC and the like.

Still, there has to be a shorter term solution to curbing the spree of police terrorism that is happening right now.

How could we go about holding the police personally liable and responsible?

I’m all ears...
The only thing I can think of is collectively appealing to the United Nations. Although I have little faith as they haven’t intervened in all these years.

I'm so not understanding this. Is there a memo out there stating take down black folks by any means necessary??? I'm so sick and tired of all of this. Honestly, not happening in my country but has me thinking as a black women i don't want to visit the US anymore because i may not come back alive.

This is some BS. having this women exposed like this.
