Kneeled On By Chicago Police Officers Outside Northwest Side Mall: ‘I Was Scared For My Life’

WARNING: This story contains violent video. Police said the women were attempting to "disturb the peace," but the cousins say they were simply trying to go to the store.

BELMONT CRAGIN — A Black woman running errands in Belmont Cragin on Sunday was pulled from a car and brutalized by Chicago police in an encounter captured on video.

Mia Wright, Tnika Tate and three others were headed to the Brickyard Mall, 2600 N. Narragansett Ave., Sunday afternoon to pick up some supplies for a small birthday celebration, Tate said, only to discover the mall was closed due to looting the night before. According to Ald. Gilbert Villegas (36th), the mall was shuttered as neighbors worked to repair the damage.

Tate, 39, turned around to leave the mall when she saw a group of Chicago police officers and pulled over to get out of their way, she said.

1. They know people are recording them.

And now police are getting fired almost on the spot, unlike before. Even if they're not convicted of crimes, don't they want to keep their jobs?

2. fucking pigs, the video is brutal as hell

Link to tweet

if this shit keeps going on people are going to snap and start shooting the fuckers like the Dallas sniper did

Trump and white nationalists want a shooting war so they can send in the US military

5. I think what they want is genocide.

[Celerity]

6. I think you are right (as for the long term goal)

and/or bring back chattel slavery somehow (not just wage/debt slavery like there is now)

it is overwhelming at times, the true extent of the hatred and evil

[Blue_true]

7. What they will get well before they can get to genocide is

people shooting back.

The entire of policing comes from people obeying orders from police. If police are turning on innocent people to harm them, obeying their orders go out the window once a critical point is reached, and instead of being protected by the rule of law, police become just one group of fighters that has taken sides, thereby losing the protections that their badges now give them.

3. Knowing they're being observed, hard to believe they are treating women like this

Makes me wonder how many dream the blacks are slaves that they can rape and torture

[Mariana]

13. I also wonder how much experience they have beating up women at home.

They don't hesitate at all, do they?

4. Cops aren't going to change until retraining is dome

Amazing, all this press over police brutality and the protests and it looks like police are getting worse.


I'll tell you why.

POLICE BRUTALITY I SNOT JUST A RACIAL [PROBLEM!!!!

Race is a big part of it but not all of it.

Other sociological and psychological problems permeate this issue.

11. I don't think training is the issue

They're properly trained, but you can't train racism of cops and you can't train cops who have the propensity to abuse people to stop doing it. That's why many of these guys became cops.

We have to eliminate this culture from policing - starting with changing hiring and screening practices. For example, requiring a nationwide database that keeps track of police brutality incidents and discipline so that a cop who's disciplined or fired for brutality can't just go to another town or state and get a job with no questions asked. And punish cops who look the other way and reward those who try to keep their fellow officers honest, including eliminating the culture of the "thin blue line."

8. Racist terrorists roaming the streets looking for their next victims

Wondering whether the apologists will have anything to say.
Disturbing the peace in their car?

[Mariana]

9. And once again, all of the cops are participating, in one way or another.

Please, someone tell me again about how it's just a few bad apples.

[StarfishSaver]

10. She must have done something to deserve it

Actually, I don't believe that. I just thought I'd get the jump on the people who run from thread to thread saying this whenever we talk about police brutality.

12. This is from last week. Any update?

Figured there would be something more about it by now
