4. I saw a white woman suffer no consequences

Mon Jun 10, 2019, 07:15 PM

Jun 2019

from failing to comply with multiple signs posted NO RIGHT TURN ON RED despite a police car being right fu*king next to her when she turned right on the red light.

Sandra Bland was stopped for failing to use a turn signal. She was arrested because she was viewed as "threatening".

I have no idea why the black man I saw getting out of his vehicle today was handcuffed. Maybe he deserved it. Maybe he didn't.

But the white woman I saw violate the NO TURN ON RED sign definitely deserved to be stopped and issued a citation.
