Black Folks Aren’t Feeling The Reactions To Story About Cop K-9 Ringo
Twitter users of color are currently repulsed by the New York Times story seen above. Mississippi police officer Carl Ellis in was charged with taking care of his narcotic-sniffing K-9 partner, Ringo, upon the dog’s retirement from the Jackson Police Department. Instead, he dropped the dog at a local shelter and was caught when Ringo’s former trainer Randy Hare was contacted about adoption. As a result of this shabby behavior of a former police officer, Ellis was “demoted”.
But this story isn’t about Ringo or the shady officer who dumped his bestest boy at the shelter, this is about people’s reactions to this story in contrast to how they react when police kill unarmed Black people.

We don’t typically see this kind of passionate decry of police conduct from WASPy folks when they decide to empty a clip on kid in a hoodie.
We just tired. That’s all.
Flip the page to see some of the cringe-y and animal-loving outrage from whites and the righteously indignant responses from people of color.
