Officials in Austin are investigating the violent arrest of a black elementary school teacher who was body-slammed by a white police officer during a traffic stop.

The investigation comes after the emergence of police video footage showing not only the June 2015 arrest but also a scene afterward, when another white officer told the teacher that cops are wary of blacks because of their “violent tendencies” and “intimidating” appearance.

“Ninety-nine percent of the time … it is the black community that is being violent,” the officer tells her. “That’s why a lot of white people are afraid. And I don’t blame them.

The most interesting part of the Video, the second part when he is taking her back to the station ...

The officer says he’s heard of it but “fortunately” it’s never happened to him.

“But do you still believe that there is racism out there?” King asks

“Yes, I do,” the officer answers. “But let me ask you this: Do you believe it goes both ways?”

“I do,” she says. “But I believe that, I’m not going to lie. I believe that Caucasians have more supremacy than we do, they have more rights.”

“I don’t think that,” Spradlin says.

“A lot more people are a little afraid of black people because of everything, honestly…” King says.

“Let me ask you this,” Spradlin interrupts. “Why are so many people afraid of black people?”

“That’s what I want to figure out, because I’m not a bad black person,” King says.

“I can give you a really good idea, a really good idea why it might be that way,” he says. “Violent tendencies. I want you to think about that.

“I’m not saying anything, I’m not saying it’s true, I’m not saying I agree with it or nothing,” Spradlin says. “But 99 percent of the time, when you hear about stuff like that, it is the black community that is being violent. That’s why a lot of white people are afraid. And I don’t blame them.

“There are some guys I look at,” he continues. “I know it’s my job to deal with them and I know it’s probably going to get ugly and that’s the way it goes, but some of them because of their appearance and whatnot, some of them are very intimidating.”

“But do you ever wonder that you know black people are the majority of the time on the defense because they feel like they are not safe?” King asks.

“By no means am I saying that there is no racism, because I know there is, and everybody knows there is,” Spradlin says.

“But my question is, how do y’all know before you even hire a person that they are not a racist?” King asks.

“Oh, trust me,” Spradlin says. “There is a four-hour psych exam that we’ve got to go through. Four hours of psychological testing we go through prior to being hired. So yeah, there’s a lot to it.”

“So do you think later on they build a certain type of image about certain people after working, and then become racist?” she asks.

“Oh yeah,” he answers. “I’m sure.”

You mean like the repeated failure to respond to the officers commands?

there's a reason the police chief is 'sickened'

Pretty simple. She did not do as asked for the officers safety and resisted and fought him.

[The Nature Boy 7,659]

there's a reason the police chief is 'sickened'

Cause he is a quivering coward who is more interested in his career than the safety of his officers. Just a guess

but of course, im sure his officers agree with you.

Everyone agrees with me, because I am convinced I am right 90% of the time and just got bad information the other 35% of the time.I demand respect

Who may not agree that blacks have violent tendencies

[The Nature Boy 7,659]

Who may not agree that blacks have violent tendencies

Stats would indicate otherwise

You believe that blacks have violent tendencies?

[The Nature Boy 7,659]

You believe that blacks have violent tendencies?

I belive that the stats show they commit a wildly disproportionate amount of the violent crime across this country. Lot of room for debate on why.
