White couple arrested after gun pulled on black family

I have never demanded an apology when someone bumped against me unintentionally. It seems petty in my opinion.

If anything I find that usually I am the one apologizing after someone bumps into me.

White couple tries to drive away, black woman gets behind their car, white woman gets out with a gun and tells them to get away from her car so she can leave.

I'm on the white folk's side on this one. The black woman was trying to start a fight and keep the couple under her restraint.

Sheriff’s office has received threatening calls from people 'picking sides' over the incident

A white couple was arrested after at least one handgun was pulled on a black woman and her daughters during a videotaped confrontation in a restaurant parking lot in Michigan, authorities said Thursday.

Jillian Wuestenberg, 32, and Eric Wuestenberg, 42, were charged with felonious assault over the Wednesday incident, Oakland County Prosecutor Jessica Cooper said.

The confrontation was captured on cellphone video.

Takelia Hill, who is black, told the Detroit Free Press that her daughter asked Wuestenberg to apologize after she bumped into her outside of a Chipotle in Orion Township, about 40 miles outside of Detroit, but Wuestenberg instead started to yell at her.

I would say it was more than just a tap on the window after seeing the emotional state of the black woman. From what I read she follows the white woman to the parking lot and escalated the whole thing. But what do I know, I'm white and therefore racist and an automatic threat.

I suggest you quit the hyperbole, you just sound like you're whining to me.

The problem was the pulling of the gun, but I agree.The black people escalated the situation. Usually when people bump into other people, the automatic response is "excuse me." Or "I am sorry." I have never had anyone bump into me and not say anything. I wish we had video of the bump. Anyway, tensions are high in our world today. We need to pray for peace.

This should not be a race issue.

Correct! It should not be a race issue, but it is. It would have been a very bad race issue if someone had gotten shot.

but the reason you are on the white people's side has NOTHING to do with the fact they happen to be white. This should not be a race issue.

And if the white woman had called the police someone would have labeled her as a Karen. There are true Karens but that wouldn't have been true in this case.

Seems like all these women are "Karens" in this video. One thing that would really help is to see the bump. Was it intentional and how hard of a bump are we talking about?

Racist biased fixed. This is why tensions are so high and the country is so divided right now.

Right. I just didn't want to violate the "fixed it for you" rule by pointing out the fixes we made to the article. Not the member posting the article.

If that is the case I'm thinking of it is bogus and unfair.... It's purely a case in how stories can easily be framed to misrepresent what actually happened.

I am concerned about this with people feeling that they are forced to deal with problems instead of depending on the police, I pray that people will exercise judgment and not resort to grabbing a gun, it only makes a bad situation worse and someone is going to be killed.
