A viral video of the forceful arrest of a young black woman Tuesday outside East Towne Mall sparked outrage from Madison’s black community and has local leaders and elected officials calling for a review of whether police officers used excessive force. Genele Laird, 18, was arrested outside the mall after she allegedly displayed a knife and threatened to kill security staff after she said her cellphone had been stolen.
Video taken by a person outside the mall shows Laird resisting police as they try to handcuff her. Two officers then forcefully take her to the ground, where she continues to struggle and kick her legs and allegedly spits in an officer’s face. The officer strikes her several times with his knee and fist before using a Taser to get her to comply with demands to put her hands behind her back......To Read More....
My Take - Black "leadership" says: “Here is a 120-pound kid, 18 years old,” said Caliph Muab’El, executive director of Breaking Barriers Mentoring Inc. “She was thrown to the ground, bag put over her head, punched, kicked and Tased … If that isn’t excessive force, I don’t know what is.”
That's the wrong take entirely. Why aren't they asking why this 18 year old 120 pound "kid" acted like a getto thug? Why aren't they asking why this 18 year old 120 "kid" kept resisting arrest? This idea of her being a "kid" is a sneaky way of claiming this "kid" was harmless and nothing have been done to her by the police. She's a thug and got what she was asking for.
As for Ruben Anthony, president and CEO of the Urban League of Greater Madison “I am outraged to my core”! I wonder if he's been outraged to his core when black "kids" go around knocking out helpless people - especially if they're old, alone or female - and call it a game? I wonder if he was "outraged" when two black "kids" who attempted to rob a woman with a 13 month old white child - whom they murdered because his mother had no money. By the way - what was that child's name? You don't know do you? Why?
