What kind of idiot calls the cops on their black son expecting any kind of positive interaction?

My mom was this stupid

People like her only love the system, not their own kids
She has been lied to her whole life that the police are there to help. She learned a quick, painful lesson that it isn't true.
She is not the victim, her son is, and she abused her son.
It's a plainly obvious fact to anyone with internet access and insight that the police are very obviously NOT there to help you, and instead of accepting the truth, she chose her delusions of a safe and just world, and her son paid the price.
We have the responsibility to know and act on the truth.
Ignorance is NEVER an excuse.
Damn... That was pretty retarded dawg.
Defending child abuse is pretty retarded. Dawg.
That is such a short sighted and dumb response. Really, you can't just see beyond your own prejudices? Oh, she is white so she must be the devil, she must love the system and hate her own child. Really now? Where you there? Were you watching her every move for the past ten years to draw that conclusion, or are you just writing down some dumb "hurr-durr evil white is bad" comment?
You're right. She was probably just stupid.

Holy shit, I think we found her Lemmy account
I was actually wondering about that. Like as a white person, I don't want to over step boundaries, but even I'm not surprised.
But this makes a whole lot more sense.
