In this clip, a Black woman police officer shares with a Black man police officer story of a white woman police officer calling her “colored.” She recalls how they were taking a break during the protests and the white officer approached her and said, “it must be so hard being a colored officer.” She quickly addressed the comment and took the opportunity to interrupt her microaggression by telling her how antiquated and inappropriate the word is.
Nowadays you throw those words out especially around people in Seattle or other officers or let alone me, you’re gonna get punched in the teeth. I’m trying to keep you safe here.
