Quietly chatting with friends in a restaurant parking lot is the latest addition to a growing list of things Black folks can’t do without having the cops called on them.
A Chili’s restaurant in Abbeville, La., is facing backlash after a viral video showed officers confronting a group of Black men and women who were standing outside talking with their “to–go” plates in hand, station WWL-TV reported. The group of roughly a dozen friends said they were just continuing conversations that started inside the restaurant when police rolled up and told them to keep it moving.
