So Jennifer Berube was being arrested, at some point she pulled out a hidden blade and put it on an officer’s neck. Officer Damon Nguyen was cut and later treated for wounds very near his jugular.
The defense stated that Berube was an RN and if she wanted to kill him, he’d be dead. She allegedly tried to scare him and a jury acquitted her of attempted murder. The articles don’t say if she was charged or jailed on any lesser charges relating to this attack.
I find this extremely baffling. Black dudes get murdered by police for simply looking like they have a weapon, yet this woman has a weapon, she uses the weapon against an officer and not only safely gets subdued and arrested, but she’s also acquitted of attempted murder.
If that’s not the epitome of white privilege, then I don’t know what the hell is.
Do any of you seriously think that a black man would have been able to get anywhere near a cop with a concealed blade, cut him, make it to court, and then get deemed “not guilty?” If you do, then you are beyond stupid. Black men get killed for much less in their own cars, yards, homes, etc! But no, there’s no white privilege! It’s all made up!
