Video shows men using racial slurs, coughing at Black woman, family in Pittsburg


Pittsburg police are investigating a racially charged incident, where a man used racial slurs and called police on a Black woman with her young daughter at a dog park, while another man coughed in the woman's face.

The incident began Friday around 6 p.m. when Nicole Terrell and her 6-year-old daughter went to Highlands Ranch Park to play with Bella, a 6-month-old emotional support pet.

When another dog, belonging to another African American family attacked Bella, the incident seemed to quickly resolve itself.


"They apologized and they said they were leaving and 'I'm so sorry,'" says Nicole.

But before they were able to leave, the situation took a turn for the worst.

"Out of nowhere a man just started saying vulgar racist slurs toward the African American family which prompted me to start recording," Nicole said.

She then became a victim as well, claiming this man unleashed a tirade of slurs, including the N-word and a phrase we won't repeat. She says the man began acting aggressively toward the other family, and out of fear, one member poured water on the man to get him to stop.
Poured water on him? That's technically assault. But of course the cops aren't going to 'investigate' that. They are going to investigate someone saying 'nigger' instead.

Pittsburg police say they're taking the case "very seriously" and their investigation will eventually be passed on to the district attorney. An independent review is also being done on the officer who responded to the scene.
The D.A. too! Clown world, honk! honk!
