A new lawsuit accuses employees at a Popeyes restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia, of attacking a woman in the drive-thru after she attempted to have her order corrected.
The incident allegedly happened in September 2022 at the Popeyes location on Cleveland Avenue in southwest Atlanta.
After Denetra Dawson attempted to fix an incorrect order, employees allegedly attacked her, pulling out a chunk of her hair and leaving her bruised, according to the lawsuit filed Friday. Dawson said in the lawsuit that when she tried to have her order fixed, words were exchanged before the employees attacked.
“I didn’t even think I was going to make it back to my kids,” Denetra Dawson told Fox 5 Atlanta. “I simply went to get food for my kids, I still don’t understand why me.” ***
[A] attorney Mawuli Davis, who is working on the case, told the outlet that one employee physically opens Dawson’s passenger door, enters the vehicle and begins to attack her.
Dawson said three employees were involved in the attack and that the only way she could stop them was by pulling out a gun.
According to an incident report, two people — Tenice Taylor and a minor — were charged with battery. A third person identified as Tenister Evans was charged with misdemeanor obstruction of an officer.
“They ripped out the braid out of her hair, all the way down to the root,” Davis said.
Dawson said she was left with physical and emotional scars after the attack. “They took my identity, I take pride in my hair, I can’t get certain hairstyles,” she said.
Davis claims the restaurant’s manager had a documented criminal past involving violent acts, and that Popeyes showed negligence by hiring this person and not conducting proper background checks. ***

Mistake number 1 was being in Atlanta. from there things snowballed.

Let. Me. Guess.
That might be what Obama would say. But in a different context.
It is a sign of stupidity, and disregard for the child.
If obama had any kids of his own, that would be their names.
The pic on the right is a perp...
Those ‘eyebrows’, tho!
Cleveland Ave is in a bad area. Forty years ago I dated a girl down there who worked for the FAA. It was then a mix of whites and blacks, I never had an issue at all. I wouldn’t go back there now, but then I wouldn’t go a lot of places in ATL that I used to go.
That had to hurt.
You really have to ask?

Agreed. No need to look at the pictures.

I was thinking the same thing. What’s up with the names?
It all started back in the 1970s with Roots coming on tv. All the blacks started rejecting their 'slave names' (Toby) and reclaimed their 'heritage' with 'African names' (Kunte Kinte). The result was a generation of babies given names that aren't authentically African but sound African.
That's also when Kwanza became a thing (an African Christmas that was in reality made up in the 70s)
