All-Too-Familiar Video Shows White Police Officers Pinning Down a Young Black Woman in a Waffle House
Politics
In an episode very reminiscent of the recent Starbucks arrests, 25-year-old Chikesia Clemons is seen here being threatened and pushed to the ground by police officers in an Alabama Waffle House. After a minor alleged dispute with the cashier over being charged for plastic utensils, Clemons is seen seated by a window while an officer holds her arm. “You’re not gonna grab on me like that, no,” she says, and in seconds, three officers are pinning her to the floor while her dress is pulled down, exposing her bare chest.
