Yikes. This is the kind of racism we claim only exists in the Deep South. But listen to how hysterical her voice gets when she calls the police. We can plainly see she is not at risk, not being threatened AND she is harming her own dog, rather than leash it as requested. So ugly. https://twitter.com/melodyMcooper/status/1264965252866641920

When black men are repeated targets for police abuse, we know she knows what could happen to him when she calls--and she does it anyway. When we talk about white supremacy, we aren't talking KKK--we are talking this kind of power: her words--her lie--could have gotten him killed.

It's unnerving to me that so many white folks in my mentions are concerned about the dog but seem to have missed the fact that this woman, under absolutely no threat, called police, acted hysterical and claimed a black man (she put his race there for a reason) was harming her.

This is a long tradition in America. It is why Emmet Till's mother insisted his casket be open--so the image of what was done to her child be on display. Carolyn Bryant admitted to the lie that killed Till, who would be 79 now. We can't ignore these acts or their consequences.
