    Should we even act surprised that this sort of thing only happens to people of color?

    I can’t watch the video that the department uploaded to Facebook since I don’t have a Meta account (ridiculous by the way that they use a closed, insecure platform as their way of “public disclosure”) but I’m willing to bet the other woman they just let leave with a ticket was white. I’ll reply with a surprised Pikachu face if someone is able to verify that.

      This probably has nothing to do with race. I’ve seen a bunch of videos of similar things happening to white people. And the other woman was actually a person of color.

      As an okc resident, I can say they will do this to literally anyone person no matter their color. They are a shady corrupt police organization and you are never i mean never allowed to explain yourself. They are correct, you are wrong.

      Though I will say poc almost certainly get police brutality way more often here in okc, these pigs don’t discriminate when given the chance to use violence
