Another Accusation of Racism Against Police Proven to be False

Another week, another false accusation of racism.

If the advancement of technology has done anything for society, it’s given people the opportunity to see for themselves whether people are actually telling the truth when it comes to serious allegations.

The most recent false accusation comes to us from the state of Missouri, where a police officer in Lee’s Summit pulled over Ciera Calhoun, a nurse in her late 20s, for not having her lights on at night. The officer reasonably questioned Calhoun on whether she had thrown a plastic baggie out of the driver-side window just before pulling over. Calhoun said she didn’t know what the officer was speaking of, so the officer let it go. Calhoun was let go with two warnings, but no ticket. 

Everything seemed fine with the interaction until Calhoun decided to take to Facebook and write a post - which has since been removed by Calhoun - accusing the officer of racially profiling her and her friends who were also in the car after getting home, according to The Blaze.

Calhoun wrote of multiple officers being on the scene for a routine traffic stop, as well as feeling unsafe during the interaction. 

The Blaze reported on Calhoun’s accusations:

“Now let me tell y’all,” Calhoun wrote. “[Three] black nurses with [Bachelor’s] degrees and [Master’s] degrees were standing at the side of the road for an hour being harassed.”

“[These] police officers had their hands on their guns the whole time I tell you,” she continued. “I can honestly say I don’t feel safe around police officers at all. I didn’t care for police before, [b]ut now I can say I hate them to the core of me.

It’s as if Calhoun had never heard of the fact that police have cameras in pretty much every squad car, with officers in certain cities being required to wear body cameras as well.

Here we go! This is the dashcam footage of the traffic stop, released by the Lee’s Summit Police Department:

 

What was that about racial profiling? It seems to bring back a favorite quote of mine, “The biggest racists are the ones that always cry racism.”

“There’s nothing sinister or nefarious here,” Sgt. Chris Dupue said.

In today’s society, people under 35 have been told all their lives that everything they do is special and that nothing is ever their fault. That must be the reason that people of any color feel justified in making false claims against innocent people because they absolutely have to get their way.

Judging by the evidence, Miss Calhoun may not pass go and may not collect her race-baiting card.
