    1. We must be done w/ @WaffleHouse. They are failing us in every way. I don't mean a temporary boycott. We're done there. 2. This North Carolina Police Officer needs to be charged w/ criminal assault. This isn't just bad policy - it's a crime.https://twitter.com/ShaunKing/status/994594065919324160 …

    That is Anthony Wall, in prom clothes, being lifted off the ground and choked by a Warsaw County police officer @WaffleHouse. He had just taken his little sister to prom. And yet again @WaffleHouse called the cops. Anthony, of course was unarmed & non-violent. This is assault. pic.twitter.com/lLupZbfMcW

        Dear People of Color: Just stop going there. Stop giving money to establishments that don't want you there. Clearly starbucks and the wafflehouse doesn't want people of color as patrons.

        Waffle House!!! That cop!! Something is wrong with this picture! This excessive force is not warranted!!! This is wrong on all levels. Waffle House should close down, and these cops who use this force should be charged with assault! This is a Child he is not resisting

        Black people should not pay into their own demise. @WaffleHouse doesn't even feel a need to address it.

        I don’t understand how people think this won’t happen to them...that thinking is delusional. Treatment like this escalates and no one is safe. No one. Stop this now. Hold Police and the people who call the police over nothing accountable. Being non-white is not a crime folks

        I'm sick and angry at the same time. We've been "compliant" to the point of death. It's not us, it's the system.

        We don’t see enough here, but what I see is the young man resisting. I’m not moved anymore when I see these videos. How we respond when approached by police is as important as the conduct of police.

        You don't see the start of the encounter. Resisting what? The probability of being choked and thrown to the ground? Which *should not be happening* ? Would love to see you in that same situation.

        The more POC who refuse to eat there the more white folks will replace them and make @WaffleHouse the new white safe space!
