Yeah, but this girl is not gonna get off. More than likely I’d say she’s not gonna get off. It’s because crimes of passion, are not allowed for Black people like that, especially when they go against white people. The argument that we’re just these passionate, emotional individuals, who can’t control ourselves? It adds into the reasons as to why people want to act like we need the stricter harsher penalties against us.
So if you let an emotional being get away with that, you’re either saying that their emotionality is accepted, or your humanizing them, and saying, what actually happened: You had a white girl who was known to harass and fight folks, who was suspended from school, so she wasn’t supposed to be on school grounds, who got this girl jumped before ended up, facing some sort of comeuppance when she swung on this girl. That’s not going to be to me, the story that can be put out in terms of what happened between them. It’s gonna be more than likely, a letter of the law type of the thing.
Only white officers can fear for their lives, even though they have guns and train to call for back up, as well as have a plethora of other things to help the. Even of they're supposed to have a prerequisite of physicality to fight off people. Only they can really fear for their lives. Not no black girl.
