1. These kinds of posts need to keep continuing

Until that one day when we get it enough to change.

What a disgusting human being with a badge.

He’s just a kid for Jeezus sake!

Some think this kind of post is divisivive.

Thank you.

16. Divisive is something completely different!

Displaying the abject cruelty we see here is no different than televising the bus riots in the 60's.

If it feels divisive to someone, time for a little reflection.

[sheshe2]

17. Yep.

2. We all need to call the Warsaw County police or sheriff or whoever they are.

Tell 'em to fire this fucker's ass pronto.


PS I just wonder what he does with that dog....

3. Technically its "post prom waffling while black"

There is so much pathos in this episode. A brother taking his sister to the prom and then not wanting to go straight home and not having a romantic date and not having a lot of money go to the Waffle House to relive the experience, eat some sugary carbs and have a sweet sibling memory.

It is so sad and so unnecessary.

4. One of the ugliest aspects of discrimination is the damage it does to young hearts and minds

These youngsters will forever be scarred, their memory of what should have been a lovely rite of passage will always come with a wince and a shudder.

That’s the point of it - not just to abuse minorities but to break their hearts, minds, wills and spirit.

Even the U.S. Supreme Court recognized this nearly 65 years ago: To separate them from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely ever to be undone.

13. Excellent post. SCOTUS Brown v. Board of Ed. opinion spoke volumes. nt

[EffieBlack]

14. Yet, several of Trump's judicial nominees refuse to say that Brown was correctly decided

And these are LIFETIME appointments.

15. +1, My friends was beaten by a LEO at 13 and had bruises for weeks. It scared me to no end

20. Actually, he and his sister and a group of their friends went to Waffle House after the prom

He said they went there because everyone (besides him) was underage and so there was nowhere else they could go (and they wanted to eat and hang out).

He and his sister got into a pretty heated argument with a staff member at the restaurant who called the police.

I posted a video on an interview with Anthony Wall downthread where he provides those and other details.

5. I know assault when I see it

6. This isn't just discrimination - this is an act of terrorism.

7. JHFC! FIRE Frank Moss for

Excessive Force for NOTHING.

8. Can't watch the video. The still photo says far, far too much, doesn't it?

If ever there was a case for divine intervention, that situation would have been so right.

[John Fante]

11. It's worse than the still suggests. I had a hard time watching it.

12. This just breaks my heart

I don't have the words to show my disgust for this raging maniac who pretends to be a police officer.

[Bluesaph]

18. My heart aches

And I want to cry for my poor black grandson.

19. Here is an interview with Anthony Wall who provides more details into what actually transpired
