University of North Texas’ dean of journalism, Dorothy Bland, is claiming racism (shocking, I know) against two police officers who stopped her because she was impeding traffic while walking aimlessly and obliviously in the street.

Dorothy Bland claims that she was harassed for ‘walking while black’, but she was actually just ‘walking while fucking stupid’, and was completely unaware that the police were behind her for nearly 40 seconds.

Watch the video above, and you will see that the University of North Texas’ dean of journalism, Dorothy Bland, is a liar and a racist.

Bland also describes “flashing lights and sirens”, when in fact there were no flashing lights, and there was no siren. This is just more lies by Dorothy Bland.

I guess it’s racist to ask for an ID from someone who was brainlessly working out in the street, instead of walking on the safer sidewalk, like a normal person would.

The reality is that the police officers saw her mindlessly working out while weaving back and forth across the street, which could be very dangerous.

I wonder what the black community would say if the police officers allowed her to be an idiot in the street, and then she was hit and killed by a passing vehicle? I would bet anything that they would call it racism that the police allowed her to be a dumb-ass in the public street.

There is no winning for these cops that deal with black people. No matter what they do, the blacks will hate on them and call out the mindless & false charge of racism.

Racist liars, like Dorothy Bland, have no business being involved with the schooling of our kids, and if my kids attended the University of North Texas, which I am very happy they don’t) I would be pulling them from the school, and enrolling them in a different university that doesn’t allow their staff to be racist assholes, and respects the hard job of police officers.

Dorothy Bland, University of North Texas’ dean of journalism, is claiming that she was stopped by police in her own affluent neighborhood for “walking while black.”

Her outrage spilled out into an opinion column for The Dallas Morning News, where she accused the officers of being racists because they asked her for I.D.

“Like most African-Americans, I am familiar with the phrase ‘driving while black,’ but was I really being stopped for walking on the street in my own neighborhood?” she writes.

“Yes,” Bland concluded.

Trayvon Martin came to mind, Bland admits, as she was in fear that these armed white officers would wind up killing her during the brief, routine stop. She describes her recollection of events:

I stopped and asked the two officers if there was a problem; I don’t remember getting a decent answer before one of the officers asked me where I lived and for identification.

I remember saying something like, “Around the corner. This is my neighborhood, and I’m a taxpayer who pays a lot of taxes.” As for the I.D. question, how many Americans typically carry I.D. with them on their morning walk? Do you realize I bought the hoodie I was wearing after completing the Harvard University Institute for Management and Leadership in Education in 2014? Do you realize I have hosted gatherings for family, friends, faculty, staff and students in my home? Not once was a police officer called. To those officers, my education or property-owner status didn’t matter. One officer captured my address and date of birth.

I guess I was simply a brown face in an affluent neighborhood. I told the police I didn’t like to walk in the rain, and one of them told me, “My dog doesn’t like to walk in the rain.” Ouch!

Bland, sans I.D., then explains that she took out her iPhone, took a picture of the two officers and the patrol car’s Texas license plate and said the officers told her she should walk on the sidewalk instead of the street for safety.

She conjured the memories of Sandra Bland (no relation) and Freddie Gray as she posted the photo “for safety’s sake” to Facebook. She was proud to witness the photo spread across the nation. One of her former students commented on the photo, saying she is “now in the company of Henry Louis Gates” — the black Harvard professor who shouted “This is what happens to black men in America!” when officers (one of them black) asked for his I.D. to ensure he owned the home he had just forced his way into.

But there is one problem for Bland’s recollection — dashcam footage, which tells a different story. In her op-ed, Bland describes “flashing lights and sirens” rousing a quiet morning in a golf-course community. But there was no siren, and the video proves it, as Bland doesn’t even notice she is being followed for nearly 40 seconds. In Bland’s account, there is no mention of the first words uttered by the police officers, who politely informed her that a truck had almost hit her because she was impeding traffic by walking on the wrong side of the street. (She was under a hoodie and listening to music on her phone.) The footage also revealed that she becomes agitated after she is asked for identification.

The Dallas Morning News tagged Bland’s piece with a response from Corinth Police Chief Debra Walthall who corroborated the dashcam evidence. She provided additional information prior to the stop that included the driver of the pickup truck, who had to nearly stop to avoid hitting Bland, motioning to the officers to go and talk to the woman. The chief notes that these same officers had observed Bland walking moments before at a time she was not in the street and did not stop her.

As impeding traffic is considered a Class C misdemeanor, Chief Walthall said it is a requirement to ask for I.D. “I am surprised by her comments as this was not a confrontational encounter but a display of professionalism and genuine concern for her safety,” wrote the chief, then added:

Please review the video and I’m sure you will agree the officers’ intent was simply to keep her safe. Ms. Bland never contacted the police department to voice her concerns regarding this encounter and has not returned my phone message left at the number provided by the mayor.

The citizens of Corinth as a whole are a highly educated population, and it is disappointing that one of our residents would attempt to make this a racial issue when clearly it is not.

Bland’s stop was nothing more than routine and courteous from the police’s perspective. It was her attitude that made the stop something else, which when elevated further than she allowed, results in a very different ending, as was with the cases with Grey, Martin, and Sandra Bland.

For an example of how a police stop is supposed to go down, read TruthRevolt’s “What Happens When a Black Man ‘Wearing Hoodie and Strapped’ Gets Pulled Over.” In it, a black man reveals that when one is respectful to officers, you won’t get beaten or arrested even if you are “driving while packing heat while wearing a hoodie while being black.”
