Why am I not surprised that shit like this incident (and the guy that got arrested and missed the Emmy celebrations) continue to happen?
So do these cops just roll up on every couple kissing and start asking questions or what's the deal here? Why the suspicion she's a prostitute just from kissing someone. I wanna know their fucked up logic on this.
Is there a thread on this? Or perhaps a news story? That sounds horrible
Someone called the police on them.
I think that a person calling the police literally because they assumed an interracial couple had to be a prostitute and a client is just as troubling the actual harassment.
The police accosted Ms. Watts because the call was made, and the call was only made because somebody believed a short-haired Black woman had to be a prostitute.
police don't know they're racist, just like dogs don't know that Beggin Strips aren't bacon.
Is that even a stereotype? Short haired black woman = prostitute?
Maybe my decades of watching COPS has made me biased but my stereotype of US prostitutes is neither short-haired or black.
The caller was probably just a racist who got upset at seeing an interracial couple.I think that a person calling the police literally because they assumed an interracial couple had to be a prostitute and a client is just as troubling the actual harassment.

lol the 'Police at Notting Hill Carnival Through The Years' photo gallery attached to the article.
Sue, sue, sue. This is not acceptable.
Yeah, I saw that. :/
Why am I not surprised that the usual police defenders appear?

Why am I not surprised that people are bending themselves into knots (again) trying to see "another perspective" of what happened?
Got dammit, I am getting numb to this shit and that is a bad thing. :|
Where's that guy that does the big racist exposing posts, perhaps he needs to be here?Why am I not surprised that the usual police defenders appear?

I really would feel like I took crazy pills for life if I was suddenly suspected of arm robbing a bank just because of my race.
Because you don't have to. This is California, not Nazi Germany.
The photos are entertaining on their own but it's odd when attached to that article.
It's like "American police wrongfully arrest black person yet again. Meanwhile, in Britain:"
Well, I live in Germany as a foreigner and I always have to carry my ID around in case the Police wants to see it. Had to show it numerous times in my youth.I don't get how people don't see the Nazi comparison. "Show me your papers!" Who did you imagine saying that? A nazi, most likely.
This is fucking disgusting. I don't even understand what they were thinking. Or if they were even thinking at all.
Crazy. You guys did elect a black guy, right? Like, there is some kind of progress being made?
Am I the only one wondering why the husband wasn't also detained? I mean their idiotic assumption was that she was a prostitute and he'd hired her, right? Isn't hiring a prostitute just as illegal as being one?
I support the police officer.
Getting sued and fired.

Curious about that now too. I'd really love to hear these officers try to explain this whole thing.
Because of my past experience with the law, I gave him my ID knowing we did nothing wrong and when they asked D for hers, she refused to give it because they had no right to do so.
Dude, cops don't even get fired for killing innocent people.
Conscious and subconscious racism is destroyed by discovering/realizing the real self by oneself. There are billion(s) of people living on planet Earth without even inquiring about the real self.Crazy. You guys did elect a black guy, right? Like, there is some kind of progress being made?
She should learn to stop being black in this country like me.

Slammin' Sammy truly was head of the game. I bet ol' Sammy doesn't get detained by cops anymore. Come, bros. It's time we make the jump the the bright side.
Someone pass the bleaching cream and the meatloaf.
The heck is this? Is this real?
Contacts too?
