WHAT? WHO in the world can LEAVE a line, go get other shit, and then come back and tell the people who were not there before that they were there first? “Look! I got here 20 minutes ago! No one was here so I got other stuff I needed and now I’m back so I was here and I am next!” So, after demanding to see a manager, I decided, hell with this, I am leaving.Īs I am about to walk away, crazy man comes back near me and says: “Look! I got here 20 minutes ago! No one was here so I got other stuff I needed and now I’m back so I was here and I am next!” What I do know is that I was NOT about to be ignored and made to wait.

Indeed, what should be done in those situations? Maybe you call for backup immediately. He did the right thing by asking who was next. He was like, “I’m sorry! I didn’t know.” I assured him that I had no beef with him. I will say that I demanded to see a manager. but suffice it to say, I DO owe some context (and maybe a piece of apology) to all in West County who unwittingly became a part of my response. . . . Wait, did you read that? GETS IN MY FACE? YELLS? MY? PERSONAL? SPACE?Īt this point in the story, I won’t share the exact words or tone or volume of my response because I don’t want to lose some of you FB fam who think so highly of me. ” THEN DUDE COMES OVER TO ME, while I am in MIDsentence, GETS IN MY FACE-he is a white male, both older and ALOT shorter than me-and YELLS IN MY PERSONAL SPACE that he was there first and I need to wait my turn. I raise my hand to say me, and the guy last on the scene says “No, I’m next.” So, I say, “Wait, not true. Then he asks, “Who is next?” The couple says nothing. He helps the guy I originally spoke with. He proceeds to stand at a different part of the station. He looks at me and the dude I am standing behind. I whisper to him, “I don’t work here no need to check with them. . .” (2) I LOOKED like the OTHER people in Home Depot: t-shirt and jeans. (1) I DID NOT have on one of those bright ass orange vests, and He thought I worked at Home Depot despite the fact that He says “Yes, thank you, but you should check with that couple over there.” What? I say “Hi,” and ask him if he has been helped. When I get to the paint station, there is a couple sort of hanging back between the aisle and the station. So, I go to Home Depot today to get some paint. CDT (as posted on Facebook by Professor Norwood):

A third officer, also speaking anonymously, spoke Monday afternoon.May 24, 2016, approximately 11:00 a.m. They requested anonymity for fear of retribution that could affect their jobs, they said. On June 13, about 30 of those officers gathered at a business building to discuss shared incidents of racism but, more concretely, to discuss what they may need to do to make certain that the state court system-and their own union, the New York State Court Officers Association, which they distrust-takes sharp and direct action aimed at eradicating racism that they say has long gone unaddressed, according to two sources, who spoke for more than an hour Sunday on the condition of anonymity. More than 100 black and Latino court officers are said to have been talking extensively since George Floyd’s death, using phones, Facebook messages and online chat forums, about what they say are long-overdue reforms needed to combat systemic and often blatant racism inside the court officer ranks in New York City, according to three veteran black officers.
