Philadelphia Police Terrify An 11-Year-Old So Much That He Vomited
The cops were called on a Black family at the Cinemark movie theater.
Posted June 26, 2018
On Friday, June 22, a Black family in West Philadelphia were at the Cinemark movie theater watching Jurrasic World. Ismanel Jimenez and his wife Ashley heard a loud beeping noise going off for about an hour. The couple left their three sons and two of their sons’ friends in the theater, bringing their 3-year-old with them to go to the lobby and ask for a refund. The manager agreed to a refund, but when the parents said they were going back inside to get the kids, the manager refused.
And of course, the white employees felt “threatened” and called the police. According to Philly.com, “at least a half-dozen officers” arrived at the movie theater.

The family captured the incident on video. You can hear Ismanel, 36, who is a teacher, saying, “A Black person’s considered a threat immediately. So therefore, if they are defiant to you, instead of actually dealing with the issue, you are calling the police.”
Philly.com also reports, “Jimenez said his oldest son, 11, whom he has talked to about the potential dangers of interactions with police, grew frightened and ran to the bathroom to vomit. ‘He was worried that I was going to get hurt,’ Jimenez said.”
One of the Black officers calmed the situation and got them a refund for the food they ordered at the concession stand.
See the video below:
Thankfully, this incident did not end in tragedy, but let’s hope the manager is not allowed to work at this theater. Calling the cops because parents wanted to go back into the theater to retrieve their children is asinine.

LWB - "Living While Black". You can't barbecue, take a nap, eat at a restaurant, use the restroom like other people, smile, laugh, or walk down the street if you don't have the "complexion for the protection" in the good ole U.S. of A... #LWB #LivingWhileBlack #BlackTwitter pic.twitter.com/O8eAlWyPvq

Before 2018 Closes, Let's Revisit The Meme Hilarity Of BBQ Becky
On April 29, Jennifer Schulte made internet history when she decided to call the police on Black people at a barbecue. She will now and forever be known as BBQ Becky, a nickname which led to some of the best memes of 2018. SEE ALSO: Some No Name, Pitchy R&B Singer Disrespected Keith Sweat And Gets Demolished On Twitter In case you missed it, BBQ Becky called 911 because Black people were barbecuing with charcoal in Oakland, California at Lake Merritt. However, the police did not come — she claims she waited two hours. In the 911 call, the dispatcher says, “Are you living in the park or something? Why can’t you separate yourself?” Schulte also refused to give out her race, although she willingly disclosed the race of the people she called the cops on, saying repeatedly, “My race doesn’t matter!” The dispatcher says her race matters and asks if she has ever been to a mental facility. BBQ Becky said she was being followed, but you can repeatedly hear Michelle Snider, the woman who filmed the video, demanding BBQ Becky return her husband’s business card, which she denied having on the call (though she clearly had in the card in the video). See the video below: https://youtu.be/7jxfgcDzjoQ Twitter had a field day with BBQ Becky. Revisit the hilarity below:
