Coventrian is a woman?BBC News - White woman called police on black man in dog row
White woman called police on black man in dog row
And clearly racially motivated.
Cool story KarenNot really sure why this "story" is deemed worthy of full BBC website coverage tbh....other than the obvious opportunity for people to be "outraged" on social media.
Exactly!Just watched it.... Very odd!!! To me It implies that middle class white Americans believe the NY police are institutionally racist and will act on the mere mention of a black guy threatening their life....regardless of the fact he was quite rightly asking her to put the dog on a lead. It’s behaviour by people like her that gets people like the guy shot!!!!
KC, is that you??Not really sure why this "story" is deemed worthy of full BBC website coverage tbh....other than the obvious opportunity for people to be "outraged" on social media.
Exactly!
And black people have been shot for just this kind of thing, of the police being called out and tensions leading to the discharge of firearms.
I would say it IS outrageous. Could have easily ended up with a terrible result and this innocent guy being shot
I am glad the Beeb covered it. Why did she have to say it was an African-American when she rang? Straight away. No-one had asked for any description. She immediately went for that thinking the police would come out much more quickly and like I say, there have been many innocent black people shot when the police have been called out for minor incidents.
KC, is that you??
The saddest part of seeing posts like this is when you look at the comments there's a lot of people that still think Karen is in the right even when there is footage. You see videos of innocent black people being arrested, harassed, threatened etc followed by numerous comments along the lines of 'what happened before they started filming'.I will say though. Nothing better than being able to whip your phone and film things instantly. Saving many an arse. I mean let’s be honest. If none of that is on camera they are believing Karen 100 times out of 100.

A few years ago I would have said that more access to information would improve things, it only seem to have made things worse.

Was quite seniorApparently she quite senior in some insurance company and their websites been sabotaged.
In the mean time she's apologised and the man's accepted it. Cummings take note!
You can smell your own it seemsKind of the point I was trying to make tbh.....
What is effectively a non-story (in the big scheme of all things racist in NYC) gets posted around the world simply to help further polarise & whip up hate....
for every dickhead defending the woman with things like "why was he filming a lone woman in a park anyway" to others suggesting she should be charged with attempted murder as she was clearly trying to get a black man killed by the police....
"Outrage fodder" for cunts from all sides basically...
White privilege.Just watched it.... Very odd!!!

White privilege.
Fuck emCareful now. People don’t like that.
Stupid women, the west seriously need to change the narrative that women are victims.
Yeah that's usually the last thing a bloke says before he dons a spiderman costume and climbs up to the roofI'm not quite sure that's the incorrect narrative that emerges from this story.
Saw this video yesterday, was shocked at how the officer seemed to take great pleasure in what he was doing.. I kept waiting for him to actually take his knee off his neck and check on the man but It just became extremely uncomfortable to watch as it dawned on me he was never going to... Therefore he should be tried and charged with murder.. That's not manslaughter imo

Its clearly murder. The fact that in instances like this and that jogger who recently got hunted down and shot (Dad and son charged with murder of US black jogger) require public campaigns before changes are brought is as big an issue as the crimes themselves.Saw this video yesterday, was shocked at how the officer seemed to take great pleasure in what he was doing..

The were 3 more dibble holding him down.Its clearly murder.

As well as the guy who actually carried out the murder there was other police on the scene, why did they stand by and do nothing? You also have to question police vetting as it appears he was openly racist. There's now pictures of him going around twitter wearing a Trump style cap with 'Make Whites Great Again' on it, as well as pictures of him onstage with Trump at a rally. Trump of course said at one of his rallies that the police should be rougher with suspects.
