TYT: Dancing In Her BMW Lands Black Woman In Mental Hospital

[blackspade]

This shit is insane. It just goes to show that the system is rotten to the core. The cops, the judiciary, the jails, etc.
There is no respite if you are Black in this country.
This woman is lucky she didn't end up dead.

2. Here's a link to an article on this

in case anyone wants to copy and paste some text into their notes.

It covers pretty much exactly the same info that is in the TYT video (minus the TYT commentary).

7. from the first page of comment

I have a BMW X-5 that my husband bought me for our 15th wedding anniversary. I took it to the Car Wash and was pulled over. I was asked to get out of the Car, I asked Why. I was told that The Car didn't belong to me and someone reported it stolen. They handcuffed me and called for back-up. I keep telling them in a calm manner that my registration was in the Car, along with insurance papers and everything. When back up arrived, I knew one of the officers, our daughters Cheer together, He was mortified. He asked them who ran my plated and checked my registration out. No one answered. I was let go. It was terrible, Just do your Job Officer's. That all could have been prevented if they ran her plates. Good Luck.

3. Another "holy shit" case.

Horrible injustices for PoCs. It's gotta stop.




Trival but relative to the Baltimore lawsuits: the cops there are now towing cars without the vehicles even being ticketed or booted beforehand so they can collect $400 fines left and right. Gotta pay for those $millions in lawsuits somehow.

4. Another racist travesty by law enforcement.......

5. NYPD does shit that would not fly even in the Deep South

Stop and frisk of random minorities without cause would never be tolerated on the streets of New Orleans.

Arresting someone for dancing in the car!?!?

6. Maybe the NYPD (and others) should be sued out of their collective budgets...

There is no reparation at enough value to make up for this injustice…. and there never has been.

8. This is one of those stories where my 'white brain' says totally unbelievable something is missing.

Then I say to myself "self, remember that video of the middle aged dude limp-running away and got shot five times in the back? How about the guy shot in the head for pulling away from a minor traffic stop? What about the guy standing in front of a hotel minding his own business and tackled? How about the gazillion YouTube videos of black people being profiled?"

White brain says "harrumph harrumph, you have a point"

9. She should OWN New York state for this. Bastards! nt

10. Mental institutions for some political punishment . Prisons for our mentally ill.

Years ago there was a story about a New York police officer who did some reporting that went against the official story-something about quotas I think. He was awoken from his sleep and taken to a mental institution. I think he won his law suit.

Many of our prisoners suffer from untreated mental illness that we put in prison-it's more profitable.
