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.

Baby got back!

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

[dfwgator]

She Persisted.

[Blue Highway]

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

[Vaduz]

products you pay for then or you don’t get them it’s called business deal with or go some place else idiot.

“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”?

[kenmcg]

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

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).

[Architect of Avalon]

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.

[Yo-Yo]

I don't think that is a pic of the 'victim,' and that's certainly not what she wore the night of the arrest.

Lawdy. What a caboose.

[arthurus]

The price is the price. If you don’t want to pay the price don’t take the product.

[Last Dakotan]

Plastic utensils are a human right!

[robel]

The charge may be unreasonable, but I can’t recall going into a business and insisting that I wanted to determine the cost of something.

[I want the USA back]

This will be turned into a racist thing, with the usual “, who is black, “ phrases inserted into the story where they don’t belong.

[Jack Hammer]

Wow, she’s gorgeous. Personally, I’d give her anything she asked for, up to and including the keys to my car.

[Carry me back]

She should have gone to jail. Also those utensils cost money. Dumb .
