[womanofthehills]

A viral video showing a black Alabama woman who was wrestled to the ground and partially stripped by two white officers in a Waffle House scuffle has a local city councilman calling for answers and an investigation.

According to WALA, the incident occurred in the early hours of Sunday morning at the restaurant located in Saraland.

The video shows one officer pulling on the woman’s arm after they were called over an argument with employees.

In the Facebook post, the woman, who was arrested, said she objected to the extra fee customers have to pay for plastic tableware, stating the last time she went to this restaurant, her plastic tableware was given to her with no extra charge.

3. "Do you want to come fix her clothes"

R E A L L Y

You pull this woman around on the ground, all the while exposing her breasts for everyone to see.


And then to have the nerve to ask her friend to fix her clothes.

9. This is horrible on so many ways

But is it Waffle House's policy to charge for eating utensils? People are suppose to eat waffles with their hands or only African Americans?

Clemons asked for plastic utensils while placing an order at the Waffle House on Industry Parkway in Saraland early Sunday morning, and was told by a female employee that plasticware costs 50 cents, according to Clemons-Howard.

When Clemons and Adams told the employee that they had not been charged for utensils when they purchased food from the same Waffle House the night before, the employee canceled the order, Clemons-Howard said. At that point Clemons asked for the contact information of the Waffle House district manager who oversees the Saraland location.

"They didn't even ask her to leave, she was waiting for them to give her the district manager's card so she could file a complaint on one of the waitresses," Clemons-Howard said. "When they went to go get the card, that's when the police showed up. The officer should've come in and said we need you to leave."

What happened after that was a miscarriage of justice, according to Clemons-Howard.

11. That white guy sitting at the counter seems terribly concerned

NOT!

Three cops for some fucking utensils? Remember how the woman complained that Mar-a-lago did not serve caviar with a mother of pearl spoon? Where were the cops that time?
