Trying to shut down Waffle houses it seems, for the good of the people I am sure.

50 cents for plastic utensils?
I think the cops arrested the wrong one, here.

The woman is an idiot and should have handled this better. And .50 cents for plastic utensils is total greedy BS. I’d like to see this company nose dive into the ground.

It looks like a good sneeze would have left her ‘exposed’ with this outfit.

No statement from the police? Is there more to this story we aren’t being told?

“When a woman dining at a Waffle House refused to pay 50 cents extra for plastic utensils, she ended up tackled on the ground by Alabama police officers,(snip)”
Why do I have the distinct feeling that there was a lot going on/being said/noncompliance/resisting between the “refusing to pay” and the “tackled on the ground”?

Plastic bags in Gilroy, CA cost 10 cents each — required by city ordinance. Is the charge perhaps similarly required?

If the report is true, maybe the cops could have used better discretion.

So if 4 people go eat, ya think it’s reasonable to charge them $2.00 for a couple plastic forks? Really?
What do they charge for napkins?

This is what cops do. They took her down with non-lethal force just as they’re supposed to. She on the other hand was relying on her ‘blackness’ to be a jerk.
In a racist observation, why is it almost always a grossly overweight black women that causes the disruptions at restaurants? McDonalds in particular.

Clemons said she was having trouble breathing, at one point, saying, "You're choking me," which promoted the second officer to respond: "I'm about to break your arm, that's what I'm about to do."
That officer also said Clemons shouldn't be fighting back.
"You're resisting," he said multiple times.
Clemons countered, "No I'm not."
Kiki is going to be very wealthy, very soon, unless there is a spectacularly good reason why the police wrestled her to the ground, exposed her breasts and threatened to break her arm. She has probably been fielding calls from lawyers all day. This may be one of those "and now the rest of the story" things, at which point the story might make sense. I can't believe all of this happened over fifty cent plastic utensils.
If not, the taxpayers will get hosed once again (along with Waffle House).

[[as the cop began to grab her arms. “You’re not going to grab on me like that. No.” ]]
[[refused to pay 50 cents extra for plastic utensils]]
She’s black- she’s more special than everyone else- she gets to tell the business what she will and will not do, and she gets to tell the police what they can and can not do

Little is being done about drug dealers but the crackdown on those who don’t want to pay fifty cents for plastic spoons is clearly a top priority.
