Current Events > Woman yells Anti-Asian slur at Man in NYC. He turned out to be an undercover cop

(+) Yeah! (+)

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/04/08/asian-hate-crime-sharon-williams/

In the late afternoon on April 6, a woman burst into Good Choice for Nails Salon near Manhattans Chinatown and began berating and threatening the Asian workers. You brought coronavirus to this country! she yelled, according to police. Her diatribe continued outside, where she spewed hateful remarks at an Asian person on the sidewalk. Then, when a bystander intervened, she called the Asian American man a Chinese mother fucker," according to police. But he wasnt just another pedestrian: He was an undercover NYPD officer. After the officer called for backup, the NYPD arrested the woman, identified by authorities as 50-year-old Sharon Williams. She was charged with harassment as a hate crime and aggravated harassment as a hate crime, police told The Washington Post.

New York has seen a stark rise as well, with at least 35 anti-Asian hate-crime reports already this year, the New York Times reported, as opposed to the 28 all last year. Last month, authorities charged a 26-year-old homeless man with a hate crime in the alleged punching of an Asian man. Last week, a 38-year-old man who allegedly assaulted a 65-year-old Asian American woman, pushing her down and stomping on her, received three hate-crime charges. To address the surge, the NYPD created an 18-member Asian hate-crime task force last year. Two weeks ago, NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea announced the department would increase its outreach to Asian communities and deploy plainclothes Asian American officers in Chinatown and other areas of the city with larger Asian American populations. The next person you target, whether its through speech, menacing activity, or anything else, walking along a sidewalk or a train platform, may be a plainclothes New York City police officer. So think twice, Shea said at a news conference on March 25. The undercover officer outside Good Choice for Nails Salon on Tuesday was part of that effort, police said. The incident on Tuesday began around 5 p.m., police said, when Williams entered the salon and threatened physical violence against one Asian American woman before walking outside and continuing her verbal assault. After she allegedly yelled a slur at the plainclothes officer, the officer called for a nearby backup team, which helped arrest Williams and took her to central booking.

This is so scary. I haven't seen something like this done to any other race this frequently. Where people just walk up to them and insult them, beat them up or stab them in unprovoked attacks.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA

Hook line and sinker.

The cop is Asian, so they can't be a white supremacist. Right?

There is not fucking deflection. If it as crime to yell at a cop, then cops should be held to the same standard for how they treat the public.

You are 100% deflecting, absolutely disgusted that you're using a hate crime and downplaying racism to troll.

Being a racist piece of shit thug is not normal.

Thank you.

Lmao, get rekt.

Im glad they got arrested for being a racist and hateful POS, but Im honestly surprised it is an arrest-able offense to begin with since the 1st amendment exists.

I didn't downplay racism at all. I just asked the question would a cop that did that to a normal person get the same treatment. How is calling out double standards with policing trolling.

That woman = a fucking moron

Yeah. You can argue that it's a good thing and that she was committing a crime on itself via harassment, but "arresting for hate speech" is technically a 1st Amendment violation since it's the police arresting you for something you said. This read like something that would happen in Britain.

You did literal whataboutism, you tried to change the subject in the process.

You're not even right either, yelling at a cop is perfectly legal. It's only if you seem actually aggressive that a cop can become concerned.

I understand what cjsdowg is saying. "Hate Crime" is an additional charge you put on something that is already a normal crime by itself, when it turns out that it was commited due to some bigotism.
Punching someone in the face is already a crime: assault. If you also do it while yelling a racial slur, then the assault is also a hate crime (additional charges?).
Looking wrong at someone and yelling "fuck you!" is not a crime by itself, so making it "fuck you, <racial slur>", while based on hate, cannot be classified as a hate crime, as the original offense is not a crime.
Now, the post says "harassment", which is a crime. So, I guess she followed him around insulting him, instead of just a passing comment.

Glad someone answered him instead of deflecting it with stupid comments.

Cjsdowg isn't wrong, it's just kinda weird to mention that in a topic about an incident where the cop is actually the victim

The cop wasn't the only victim, she was originally having a freakout in an Asian-run nail salon and berating workers.

The far leftists on this websight, man. They're so cherished.

lol, walking into an undercover cop. Lucky she wasn't driving that day.

NYC again, it's a meme at this point.

Thing is, this article isn't mentioning that, it says that the cop called for backup but nothing about her following him. She was insulting others in the store, I assume she stayed there.

If it's not a Karen, it's a Sharon.

All racism stems from ignorance. There are people out there that need to realize that her racist comments don't represent the views of black people as a whole.

Though, you sure see the media focusing on stories about black on asian hate crime these days. Of course this sort of thing would be happening regardless of coverage.

She was charged with harassment as a hate crime and aggravated harassment as a hate crime, police told The Washington Post.

Just curious, why do they almost have always the same charge with the word "aggravated", and make it two separate charges?

And the whole racist part as well.

Pretty sure if a cop walked up to a random person and started throwing racist insults around the cop would definitely get in trouble.

what are you doing right now

That dude hates cops more than anything else on this planet.

Irony here is, she probably has a perspective on white people.
She holds a double standard on racism and goes after an Asian person
And you see her being put away in the car by white people.

Yep she would not say and act anything like that way to white folks. But of course, it's to the "model minorities" Asians she thinks it's ok to shout and act like an idiot to them

NYC is placing plain clothes Asian officers around the city? Nice. Its a great first step.
