Arrest at Wal-Mart leads to charges of racism

Had she joined her husband in the other line, there probably would not have been an issue, I see people do this all the time, although it is still wrong to cut in line. She should have to wait in line with everyone else. This still does not give the "law enforcement officers" the right to call her a "N" which they did, most do use racial slurs in St. Louis. This story will give Walmart and St. Louis a bad reputation based on the other websites I have seen it on and the negative feedback. The customer who put her hands on this suspect should be charged with assault, you cannot push someone simply because they are cutting in line. And yes race does become a factor since the suspect is black and we all know the customers, Walmart and the police used racial slurs. The parking lot incident would have been caught on Walmart's surveillance and if it the police did tackle this suspect as she was walking away and trying to leave the situation, she would have proof. There are 2 sides 2 every story, but we do know that someone "cutting in line" should not escalate to police brutality and the KKK getting involved. Those of us who were in the store heard and know what happened and this will come out in court.

I don't judge a person by the color of their skin. Whether I should or not, I judge a person by their ignorance that they display. If the Wal-Mart employee yelled racial comments at Miss Ellis then Wal-Mart needs to deal with that accordingly. If the police officer used racial slurs, then he needs to be dealt with accordingly by his superior officers and the city officers that are elected to office to take care of such matters that involve the city. Regardless of what was verbally said, if, and I stress IF because I wasn't there, IF she assulted the police officers she should be tried in a court of law like is happening. People need to realize there are 3 sides to every story. Your side, my side and the truth. This is why we have a Court of Law to determine the truth. I'm sure both sides are exaggerated and it gets more exaggerated everyday because of the publicity the story is getting. You have to admit, if Miss Ellis would have left the store when she was asked to and took up the matter of the store employee in the correct manner by taking herself out of the situation first and contacting the proper people to handle such incidences (Wal-Mart Corporate office) this would not be an issue. Not only did not leave like she was asked, she stayed long enough for the police to arrive. I guarantee you they were not waiting outside the front door. It had to have taken some time for them to arrive. Therefore it appears she would have stayed long enough to make Wal-Mart want to call the police and she was there long enough for them to arrive and arrest her. And I'm sure she wasn't calm as a cucumber the entire time otherwise the police would not have been contacted. The situation was handled carelessly by Miss Ellis before the police arrived. Any person, black, white or yellow, with any sense or maturity at all would have removed themselves from the situation before it escalated to the extent it did. They did not force her to stay in the store, they actually asked her to leave. She should have left. But, REMEMBER I do still believe if the store employee and the police officer used racial slurs toward Miss Ellis, they should be dealt and punished to the full extent with also. I have no tolerance for any discrimination whatsoever, race, religion, sex, etc.

O, I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land.
In Dixie Land where I was born in
Early on one frosty mornin'
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land.
O, I wish I was in Dixie!
Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie Land I'll take my stand
To live and die in Dixie
Away, away,
Away down south in Dixie!
