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.
