She seems legitimately distressed.

Yeah this is sad. She seems like a teenager and the guy recording sounds older. He probably could have calmed her by trying to be empathetic. I get that she’s wrong but god damn yall, have some compassion for a kid who clearly gets abused by grandma and probably has absent parents.

I mean, that’s one option, but that’s far from the only option, and other options include “thinking you can get out of stuff by being a young white lady who says sorry”

lol what? I literally said she was wrong. She is clearly in distress. If I were in the man's situation, I would have told her to take some deep breaths while we wait for the cops.

As a brown woman myself, what the fuck does this have to do with race? God, reddit people really are the fucking worst.
