So, let’s take it back to April 2018, when a young Black woman named Chikesia Clemons, who was twenty-five at the time of her brutal assault at the hands of rogue White cops at the Waffle House in Saraland AL, was forced to bear the burden of her Black womanhood being shredded away by the claws of badged attackers.

The video that expectedly went viral, is frightfully haunting, as gawkers get a full view of Chikesia battling for survival in the makeshift gauntlet, dodging the blows being levied against her by a gang of thugs, who are violently trying to get her to comply, while she desperately attempts to keep her summer dress from being ripped from her bruised body.

After almost tearing her apart for the sin of exchanging unpleasantries with an employee over eating utensils, the bastards in uniform arrested Chikesia Clemons and charged her with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

Imagine the horror of being savagely manhandled by brutish White males, who are not only thrashing you about like a ragged doll, but are also spewing out threats like:

“I’ll break your arm; that’s what I’m about to do!”
