The family of a 10-year-old Black boy who was arrested and placed in a cell for relieving himself in a parking lot say they will file a federal civil rights lawsuit against a Mississippi city unless police officers involved in the detention are fired.
Quantavious Eason was detained and taken to a police station in Senatobia after an officer spotted him urinating behind a car outside a law office last month while his mother was inside getting advice on a housing issue.
LaToya Eason questioned if her son’s race influenced officers’ decision to take him away in a police car and place him in a cell for almost an hour. “Would you have put a white child in a cage? If it had been a white child, he probably wouldn’t have even been stopped,” she told a news conference this week.
How in the actual fuck is that anything more than a “Hey! Don’t do that!” and moving on
But he might be a child predator… A predator… But also a child… WONT ANYONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!
/S
As if that shit was necessary.
America needs to grow the fuck up when it comes to penis, vaginas, and nudity.
They act it’s murder. It’s pathetic that anyone is scared of seeing a penis or vagina.
As long as no one tried to touch you with it, flaunted it with ill intention publicly, or gets fluids on you get over it. Who the fuck cares grow up.
Give em a 50 dollar fine, if that, and be done with it. They make it out like violent rape.
I was at a large outdoor music festival in 2015. On Saturday night thousands of people were lined up to use overflowing port-a-potties. Naturally, I made my way to the perimeter fence to pee. A cop came up behind me, shined his bright flashlight on me and said, “It’s not worth an indecent exposure charge, man.”
I was alone, in the dark, facing away from the zero people near me, and this pervert approaches me and threatens me with his pervert law. Get a fucking life.
That’s what happens when people make the human body and nudity a taboo.
America needs to get on board with nudism.
I can’t remember if it is my state or county, but indecent exposure and public urination are two different things. If I remember correctly indecent exposure requires intent to expose yourself.
Like with movies and TV shows.
Mass Murder? AOK for all ages!
A titty or a swear word? Oh no, can’t have that without the highest ratings restriction.
A penis of vagina? That’s porn!
I’m not complaining or anything, but why is naked bicycle riding specifically protected?
🎤 Get on your bikes and ride!! 🎶
Nudity aside, do you want to live in a place where people can piss on the sidewalk whenever they want? Sounds pretty awful.
That being said, a white 10 year old would have gotten a scolding not an arrest
do you want to live in a place where people can piss on the sidewalk whenever they want?
That’s why we have fines and warnings. Not arrests.
I don’t disagree. My issue is with framing this as “hurr durr Americans are puritanical”. There’s more to it than that. I dont have a problem with nudity. I also don’t want to walk through puddles of piss.
Do you think people are pissing everywhere on the street? We are talking about emergencies, behind a tree, hidden from everyone.
I call for complete freedom of toilets. No tickets, no scolding, no penalties at all for anyone peeing and pooping in public, unless there’s a 24/7 public restroom within, say, 5 minutes walk.
I don’t know if you’ve thought about the public health implications of people shitting in the streets but as a man who doesn’t enjoy contracting hepatitis and cholera I disagree.
