[ "I like this mom. \n“This happened because of what happened to Bobbi, but it also happened because the whole community, the science community, got together and said, ‘She’s one of us and we’re not going to let her lose her steam,’” Joseph reportedly remarked. “I just appreciate it. It means the world.”", ">\n\nThanks for highlighting this.", ">\n\nIts an important part to remember.", ">\n\nWhat I don't understand is the inability to communicate\nA neighbor called the police on her “There’s a little Black woman walking, spraying stuff on the sidewalks and trees,” the caller told police, CNN reported. “I don’t know what the hell she’s doing. Scares me, though.”\nI really don't understand the tendency to call the police, particularly about inane shite. If you have an issue with what someone is doing you go up to them and talk to them, you don't demand civic authorities deploy law enforcement officers. I saw a case of someone being annoyed with how loud a neighbour was playing games with his girlfriend so called the police. The video game player ended up getting killed.", ">\n\nThat neighbor wasn’t scared. And he wasn’t going to go out to talk to her because figuring out what she was doing was never his intention. It is obvious by his description of her, “there’s a little black woman with a hood on”, spraying stuff…”, that he intended for the police to be in the mindset of confronting a grown black woman, doing stuff to sidewalks and people’s property. Let me ask you, how many times have you mistaken a 9 year old for a woman? I mean, there are some outliers, for sure, but looking at the pictures of her and I found video from the officer’s body cam, and there’s no way that he didn’t know she was a child. A grown man wanted to make police believe a black woman was vandalizing property and then sic them on a 9 year old girl. Was he hoping the police would be rough with her and scare her into not leaving her house? Was he hoping that they’d arrest her? Shoot her? What outcome could he have been hoping for by involving police in that manner. He didn’t say, “there’s a child spraying stuff all over trees and sidewalks”, maybe he knew that was a ridiculous thing to call about so he said it was a woman. Either way, dude’s a racist piece of shit. And I’m so glad the responding officer immediately recognized what was going on and made sure the girl knew she wasn’t in trouble. It could have gone a lot worse.", ">\n\nYes, who thinks a 9 year old is a \"woman\"? Unless the guy is a pedofile, it's a real stretch to confuse somebody 9 years old with an adult.", ">\n\nI had literally just read an article or study, I don’t remember that said during a study, white people found black girls less innocent, more responsible for their actions and less deserving of help than white girls. They literally see little black girls as “women” at a younger age, at least when it comes to perceived negative behaviors.", ">\n\nThat study is mentioned in the article. Boys of color are seen similarly.", ">\n\nOh good lord. The joys of having a toddler that has suddenly become allergic to sleep. My brain is officially mush.", ">\n\nYou look at her photo and she’s CLEARLY just a little girl. And even if she wasn’t, what could she be doing with a spray bottle that would’ve warranted police being called?", ">\n\nThis is an easy question to answer. The caller was a racist Karen.", ">\n\nThat's what I thought too, but he's actual Gordon Lawshe a racist NJ politician. Make sure to use his name Gordon Lawshe so hopefully that racist never gets elected again", ">\n\nYou mean NJ Karen Gordon Lawshe?", ">\n\nRACIST NJ Karen Gordon Lawshe?", ">\n\nOh, you mean THE Racist Child-hating Karen GORDON LAWSHE", ">\n\nDid someone say RACIST KAREN NJ POLITICIAN GORDON LAWSHE?", ">\n\nWhy TF is shit like this still happening!? Who reports a little girl over a fucking project!?", ">\n\nSomeone who calls her a Black \"woman\" to dispatch.", ">\n\n\nThere’s a little Black woman walking, spraying stuff on the sidewalks and trees,” the caller told police, CNN reported. “I don’t know what the hell she’s doing. Scares me, though.\n\nNothing scarier than a 9 year old in a public space treating trees with a spray bottle. No way to deal with this without involving the police. If you were to approach her in the public space she'd probably have killed them with her blackness.\n\"She's got some kind of hard chalky substance, and she's etching symbols with it onto the sidewalk. I think it might be gang signs or maybe a symbol to rob this house later. She's a black woman on the small side, about 2 foot 8.\"", ">\n\nYou can never be too careful around the mini black folks.", ">\n\nI genuinely feel like we should know as a society that you don't call the cops on people unless you are ok with there being a non-zero chance of that person ending up dead.\nIn fact, I feel so strongly that we should know that as a society, that I think we do know that as a society. And that leads me to one inescapable conclusion about the ~~woman~~ person who called the cops on a 9 year old spraying trees.\nEdit: Sorry, I just assumed it was some neighborhood karen. The details are even worse.", ">\n\nI read about this several months ago. I'm not in a position to post any sources at the moment, but the dude who called in is some kind of politician or ex politician, And he used every word necessary to get a black person killed if the officer that arrived didn't have the shred of common sense that the one who responded did. Absolutely disgusting", ">\n\nThe attorney he hired, told an outlet that it’s “absurd” that a 9 year old black girl, who just had the cops called on her, could be afraid of police.\nWho the fuck does this attorney think they are to tell this girl what she can or cannot feel? What in the actual fuck is wrong with people??\nI wish we could shame these people into the depths of their own little existence and keep them out of the rest of society, but that would require them to feel shame and embarrassment, but we all know the only feeling they have is “fear of non-white people”. Which they’ll express over and over again.", ">\n\n\nThe attorney he hired, told an outlet that it’s “absurd” that a 9 year old black girl, who just had the cops called on her, could be afraid of police.\n\nI'm a 47 year old white guy and if the police got called on me for just doing normal stuff outside then I would be afraid. A little kid (especially a black kid given everything that's happened)? They definitely would be afraid.", ">\n\nBlack people are expected to control their emotions when cops won't control theirs.", ">\n\nThe guy who called the cops on her is a local (town) politician well-known to the community as openly and unapologetically racist.", ">\n\nIf he wasn’t before he sure is well known and openly racist now", ">\n\nFFS, it's a little girl. Just walk up and ask her what she's doing, you dumb racist.", ">\n\nTo call her a little black woman is wild", ">\n\nThe perceptive adultification of black children has only gotten worse over time", ">\n\nI’ve noticed that throughout my life, I never understood why.", ">\n\nYou can’t hate a child, call a 9 year old a women and hate away!\nRacism.", ">\n\nNot just racist, you see the same thing with rape victims and its disgusting.", ">\n\n\"relations with a young woman\"\nRaped a child. You mean they raped a 10 year old child.\nI'll take biased reporting for 300, Alex.", ">\n\nFor real.

Scares me, though\nHow fragile are you right now? A little girl with a spray bottle scares you? You could have just asked her what she was doing.", ">\n\nHe called for a gun cause he wanted them dead", ">\n\nthis. the police are a racist hit squad. she wanted them to do to that little girl what the memphis cops just got caught doing", ">\n\nShe's just spraying there...MENACINGLY", ">\n\nThe body cam video of that is so funny sad. The cop is like \"what's in your hand!?\" and the guy is so exasperated when he open and closes the claw a few times and says \"it's a trash grabber!!\"", ">\n\nTerrifying. They keep yelling at him to put down the \"weapon\", the \"object\", etc. and he keeps repeating, \"It's a trash grabber! I'm picking up trash! I live here!\"\nThen when he finally sets down the bucket and trash grabber and takes a step or two away, one \"brave\" cop rushes in to grab them before running away with them.\nA dozen armed cops, with one cop even brandishing a shotgun, and they're all allegedly scared/threatened by a young man picking up trash outside his home.", ">\n\nYes, the rest of the video is horrifying. Just the part I said made me laugh in a sad way. I thought it was so awful how he kept having to say \"I live here\" and the cops didn't believe him. It shouldn't even matter if he lived there, he's doing a community service.", ">\n\nWhy call the police when you can just go fucking talk to her!?\nPeople are just stupid, hateful, assholes.", ">\n\nThat little black woman might have had a gun!", ">\n\nA 9 year old girl! Jesus fucking christ!\nI think it's telling too that the caller remarked that she was a \"little black woman\" They'll not even let black people be children, let alone given the dignity of being a fucking human being.", ">\n\nNot for nothing but she's so fucking little and adorable! How on earth could anyone but a racist see her as a threat!?", ">\n\nAnd yet the shit that reported her to the filth aged her by several decades.\n\n“There’s a little Black woman walking, spraying stuff on the sidewalks and trees,” the caller told police, CNN reported. “I don’t know what the hell she’s doing.

I'd rather die.", ">\n\nProbably why they said it was a woman instead; dude knew if he said girl he would be laughed at yet he couldn’t bring himself to realize how stupid his reaction is", ">\n\nSelf aware enough to know that, but not enough to realize how much of a dick he is.", ">\n\nLittle Black Woman is quite an odd combination of words.. makes me feel like they went out of their way to not acknowledge she’s a child.", ">\n\nThat's exactly what that racist piece of shit did", ">\n\nImagine calling the police over a 9 year old girl looking for bugs. Some people are just terrible.", ">\n\nAs a child (white girl), I remember being all over my neighborhood—especially cutting through back yards and jumping fences to short-cut to friends’ houses.

I'm lucky there wasn't a scared white person there to see me.\nI've never heard of the term adultification but I know for many years black people have been perceived as hypersexual and sexually manipulative and aggressive. And when a young black teenage girl goes missing, it's typically assumed it was because of her lifestyle and it's something she did. As if she couldn't be the victim of a predator, like it's assumed with white girls. The girl's homelife and family is also extremely scrutinized, assuming her mother (because it's usually always the mother) is a bad and neglectful parent whose behavior rubs off on the child. It also doesn't help that we stereotype black women and men as always tough, aggressive, angry, confrontational, able to withstand anything, incapable of breaking down. There's no vulnerability so when bad things happen, we are supposed to suck it up, take the hits, and not show any emotions unless it's anger.

How the fuck where they do terrified of a 9 year old black girl that they didn't just step outside and talk to her? I always knew and warned the boys come 5th grade that they were bigger now and that there's a lot of bad people out there who aren't going to look at them as a kid anymore that they could be seen as an adult now even if it's not true or fair. I always at least felt a little better knowing the girls had some time and safety for a while, they wouldn't be really viewed as an adult till at least 7th-8th grade (which is still wrong but it's something) but now there's this shit, no amount of awards, recognition or anything like that is going to make this okay. Everyone knows this needs to stop, the police are just way to trigger happy and no amount of training is going to fix it, this shit has to be fundamentally retooled and funds shifted from police to social services and fixing things in underserved communities. It's no mystery why people commit crimes, the vast majority of crimes are either petty disputes turned violent, property crime due to desperation via poverty or \"drug crime\" which often is just people trying to get out of poverty or maintain an addiction, everyone's laid out the problems, the solutions, they have written the academic papers, people have gone out on the streets but I am really starting to think it's never going to fucking change, way to many people are okay with this" ]
