Ever Wonder About What Happens When Black People Go to an Airport?

Blacks don’t usually get on planes. I think they’re afraid of them.

Also, in general, blacks live and die within a five mile radius of where they were born.

So many people wonder: “what happens when black people go to the airport?”

Well, wonder no longer, friend.

NBC News:

Travelers clashed with police after a brawl broke out at Miami International Airport Monday night, authorities said. Two people were taken into custody.

The scuffle broke out after police were called to gate H8 shortly after 6:30 p.m. over a disturbance surrounding a delayed charter flight, the Miami-Dade Police Department told NBC Miami.

Officers found an “unruly passenger” who appeared to have taken the keys to an airport golf cart and was refusing to let a worker leave, police said.

In video footage shared on social media, a large crowd can be seen surrounding an officer who appears to have his arm around a man’s neck in an apparent chokehold.

At least two people start to intervene, appearing to try to release the man from the officer’s grip as onlookers shout and capture the skirmish on their mobile phones.

Once released, the man appears to chase after the officer, striking him multiple times.

The officer can then be seen backing away, before appearing to pull out a weapon, prompting another person in the crowd to hold up their hand in an apparent bid to deescalate the situation.

It is unclear what exactly unfolded in the moments that led up to the scuffle and the circumstances around the officer’s withdrawal of a weapon are being investigated, Miami-Dade Police said.

The force added that two people were taken into custody following the incident. Information on their identities and any potential charges they may face has yet to be released.

“Like airports across the country, (Miami International Airport) is seeing record-high passenger numbers this winter travel season,” MIA Director and CEO Ralph Cutié said in a statement.

“Unfortunately, that passenger growth has come with a record-high increase nationwide in bad behavior as well, such as the incident this evening at MIA.”

“Disruptive passengers face police arrest, civil penalties up to $37,000, being banned from flying, and potential federal prosecution,” Cutié said.

Haha.

Black people being punished for a crime.

That’s cute, Cutie.
