Rutgers Professor Britney Cooper
Rutgers University associate professor Brittney Cooper said Ma’Khia Bryant, a black teenager whom a police officer fatally shot after the 16-year-old appeared to attack another with a knife, has been “adultified” because “she was a big girl,” making the remarks during a Thursday appearance on MSNBC.
Cooper discussed the fatal police-involved shooting of Bryant, who is seen on camera wielding a knife, lunging at another girl.
“Look, the arguments for our movement have never been that black people have to be perfect in order for them to deserve dignity, for us to have good policing, for us to be viewed with humanity, for cops to take a breath before they literally get out of the car, guns blazing,” Cooper (pictured) told host Joy Reid, later contending that some do not “understand black girls as girls.”
“But beyond all of that, what are we gonna do about the way we don’t understand black girls as girls?” she asked.
“Ma’Khia Bryant was a child … and the way that she has been talked about as this, you know, because she was a big girl, so people just see her as the aggressor, they don’t see her humanity,” Cooper asserted.
“They have adultified her. We turn black girls into grown women before they even are able to vote,” she continued.
“I have watched folks across the political spectrum really defend this and say … and empathize with the officer, say that he didn’t have any other set of choices,” she added:
What are we training police to do if they are not actually showing up on the scene and making the situation better for all involved? If you can’t figure out how to deescalate a 16-year-old, even with a kitchen knife, when you’ve got a gun .....

I bet she is a great professor who worked hard to get where she is........
I’m not saying that Rutgers Professor Britney Cooper is a “big girl”, but that font on her shirt is ginormous.
tooo damn much testosterone... and raised like boys and instead of girls
These so called Professors make more than I did as a Regional Vice President for a Fortune 500 Company.
They also have Tenure, which I never had. If I didn’t perform or meet my Goals during the year I was out of a Job, period.
Talk about “Equity”.
The Inmates are running the Asylum.
Rant off...
The prof is a big, fat, ugly idiot.
Looks more like an escapee from a Smithfield pork processing plant.
Public colleges are often just jobs programs for tokens once you leave the STEM fields; it lets us pretend that they belong in this modern economy.
No, sky-high tuition (and the flight of college-age Jerseyans to other states - permanently) to pay this token sow.
There is no “education” involved with this slob...
he has no idea if she is 16 or 36 years old.

He coulda axed her for an id. before shooting her.
Oh wait, that wouldn’t work, it’s racist to expect black people to have ids.
“Adultified” Even Free Republic tells me that’s not a word.

You’re just axing the wrong source.
Her name was Bertha. Bertha Butt. She was one of the Butt sisters.

Sisters: Ima Butt, Ura Butt, We’realla Butt.
Play with adult toys, receive adult consequences.
So that’s what a black hole looks like up close.
To this dumass Prog/Marxist, Bryant is a “child” for purposes of demagoguing a justifiable police shooting, but she and those like her think that this “child” should have the right to vote.
The REAL children are these insane and demented lunatic leftists who can hold two or more contradictory thoughts to be true at the same time, for their wicked ideological agendas.
I live in a big ten town. The chief diversity officer at the school is pulling in $300K+
Another Rutgers Marxist/black racist “professor”. No wonder Rutgers is being compared to “Patrice Lumumba University” in Moscow, which turned out thousands of communist terrorists under the guise of student scholars for Africans and Asians over the decade.
What is she a “professor” of, “Fat and Stupidity Studies”,
“Basic Marxist Disinformation Techniques”, “How to lie through your teeth without opening your mouth” or “How to protect black feral animals when they attack other black youth and turn the killer into an ‘adultified hero’?
“Big” is a more polite way of saying fat.
