A video of a white woman refusing to leave a Black man’s apartment after accusing him of breaking into hers and stealing items grabbed the attention of hundreds of thousands of Twitter users on Wednesday afternoon leaving them with a host of questions.
For starters, it is unclear where and when the bizarre encounter took place, and the identity of the people involved has not been revealed. However, many questioned why authorities did use more force on the woman who was violent and erratic. It took one police officer and three other emergency response personnel to restrain the woman.
“They didn’t want to,” wrote one Twitter user in response to questions about the lack of force used to pull the woman from the man’s doorway.
“What I find interesting is the fact that they didn’t taser her, they didn’t slam her, they didn’t even yank her ankle out of that man’s apartment, so he could close his door,” another user wrote. “The other way around…”
Twitter user 2RawTooReal shared two videos of the confrontation on Thursday, July 20. It starts off with the white woman talking into the camera as the Black man tries to prevent her from getting past the front door of his apartment.
“Just wanting to say, I want to clear my name. I know I won!” she says with a smirk before yelling out a sequence of numbers. The man then tries to push her out of the doorway.
“You gotta get out,” he says.
However, she refuses to leave.
“No, you gonna talk to me more,” she says while clapping her hands.
“I am not going to talk about anything. You need to get out my house,” the man replies.
She then asks him for the items, and while he refuses, she closes the front door behind both of them in the apartment.
As the man attempts to reopen the door, she starts rummaging through a red bag.
“Leave my stuff alone,” the man says.
