A black man was arrested for a crime he didn’t commit until a white lady spoke up
A black man was arrested (or should we say detained, as the cops will eventually say later) for a crime that he did not commit today in New York.
As you can see in the video below, TikTok user @kaanaawildrose decided to record herself walking up to the cops and telling the police that the black guy was being accosted by some white guys, the same white guys that the cops even let go after they blamed it on the black guy.
The general consensus on social media is “This is how you use your white privilege.” Sadly though, it is likely if the woman talking on the video was anything but white, they may not have believed her side of the stories anyhow.
Many people are mad at the police, but the fact that they stopped and listened and let him go is a good thing in its own right. Remember, several people tried to stop Derek Chauvin from kneeling on George Floyd, even a paramedic, but he refused to. This is at least a step up from that. Of course, it did sound like a road rage incident, and the cops should have pulled over everybody involved to get accurate eyewitness statements, instead of taking someone’s word for it (in this case the white guys that accused the black guy while speeding away) right?
Anyhow, this is the second time in as many days that we posted a white lady who is the opposite of Karen. I think it is time we came up with a good name to describe this type of person. Have any suggestions? Leave your comments below!
