154. That's your opinion. I otoh am glad the Charlottesville racists were doxxed...

May 2018

and glad that this woman's name was made public. She sicced cops twice on innocent black people in that dorm so it was no mistake.

There should be consequences to racists using police as their valets because the presence of black people make them uncomfortable.

I question the character of anyone who doesn't get that?

That has the potential of more Tamir Rices, John Crawfords and on and on and on. It's a roll of the dice as to whether you get a reasonable cop or a racist cop eager to shoot a black person.

She should have worked the situation as an adult with another adult who both live in that dorm. No cops were necessary, but having done it before, that was her way of ridding her presence of black people.
