Texas cop body slams Black woman to the ground twice, the other cop tells her that African Americans have “violent tendencies”.
Breaion King was arrested for speeding by white Austin police officer Bryan Richter on June 15, 2015.
Dashcam video shows Richter violently slam King to the ground.
King was arrested for “resisting arrest” and put in the back of the patrol car.
Thankfully now she has been cleared of the charges and is considering a lawsuit.After the incident Richter was issued the lowest level of discipline, counseling and additional training by the Austin Police Department. However, his conduct was not formally investigated.
Now, since the videos have been published by the media, both Spradlin and Richter are under investigation by officials.
Justice must be served! You can’t slam a tiny woman and get away with it.
so when are Black men gonna take responsibility for their role in colorism instead making it seem like a petty catfight between darker and lighter Black girls? 🤔
This is horrifying and gross, because the list includes:
Cranberry sauce and pie filling. (Poor people can forget about making dessert for Thanksgiving dinner.)
Creamed vegetables
Baked beans
Pickles
Pork and beans
Frozen veggies that come in packages featuring pasta, nuts, rice, cheese, or meats
French fries and hash browns
Sharp cheddar cheese, Swiss, and fresh mozzarella, shredded and sliced cheeses (except American cheese of course), cheese food, spreads, and products. Even Kosher cheese is banned unless you apply to get a specific check for it which basically could identify who the poor Jewish people are.(This is really gross and skeevy because of how this is isolating Jewish people and outing them.)
Canned peas and green beans
Albacore tuna, red salmon, and fish fillets
Bagels, pita bread, English muffins
White rice and wild rice
Taco shells
Almond, rice, goat, and soy milk.
Brown eggs and any eggs produced by cage-free or free range chickens, which basically helps corporate chicken farms
here’s the list, for anyone who’s skeptical like i am. it’s on a real-ass government-ass website. i am, tbh, disgusted.

Thanks for the link. That is horrifying and disgusting.
The list is actually worse- no peanuts, SEASONINGS, SOUPS, any canned beans, WHITE RICE, anything organic or natural, and anything like lactose free/kosher milk, or anything that might be necessary to a religious group or someone with conditions such as celiac or lactose intolerance basically have to fill out forms which singles them out based on health/religious reasons.
Is it just me or did they basically rule out basically all the cheapest and easiest to prepare food? Because that is bullshit.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

I have food stamps in a different state and this list is essentially my grocery just when I go to the store. These are easy to prepare, quick, filling meals and most of them have a long shelf life and can be stored for emergencies or of you use up your food stamps before the end of the month. This is absolutely a blatant act of violence against poor families and I hope it continues to gain more national outrage.
They… They can’t buy potatoes?! Which has more potassium than a banana?! Or nuts?! Which are the best blend of magnesium, calcium, protein, and healthy fats that nature ever made?!
I don’t… I don’t understand. There is no way this is concerned with poor people’s nutrition at all.

So what are they allowed to buy on food stamps? Boiled air?
Interesting fact number one: Wisconsin is a state with a large number of Hmong immigrants, or people of Hmong descent. I believe that only Minnesota has a larger Hmong population.
Interesting fact number two: the first words that come up when I google for “Hmong cuisine” are these: “The Hmong staple food is white rice …”
How the fuck…can you deny the poor…rice and beans. Rice and beans are essential fucking staples for poor people. They can be bought in bulk. They are high in nutrition. They last a long fucking time.
Oh, but wait…THEY DON’T ALLOW POOR PEOPLE TO BUY IN BULK.
What is their logic to this? Because all I see here is, “punishing poor people for being poor.” There is NO FUCKING REASON for this. Most of these items cannot remotely be considered ‘luxury.’ To ever deny the poor to buy CANNED or BULKED GOODS is just…mind-blowingly terrible. When I have money, I buy things in bulk for when I don’t…I just…what?!

How the hell do you make it illegal for poor people to buy food? This is so wrong and disgusting.
Given the number of extremely cheap items on the list it looks like a way to discourage people from even using food stamps and either scraping together money for food somehow, or relying on private charities.
Is there any single fund or movement to supply food banks in Wisconsin with food specifically from that list in large amounts?
