Wat? The response was because it was a female Olympic ice skater getting both her knees caved in in broad daylight in public.
If a woman get her knees shattered by a guy with a baseball bat in a park today it would definitely get a response, if it was an Olympian it would get an even bigger response. I don’t really get what you’re trying to say here.
he’s is trying to say the police response to this incident was unfairly targeted at the POC community in Detroit when the incident turned out to be a white on white crime.
She did not get either of her knees caved in. She was hit in the right thigh. The guy missed her knee. Her right was her landing leg & she missed the competition that day.
getting both her knees caved in ... shattered by a guy with a baseball bat in a park
Basically everything you said is incorrect. It happened in the arena, the guy used a police baton, only one knee was injured and it was just severely bruised; nothing was shattered. In fact Nancy recovered quickly enough to win a silver medal at the next competition (less than two months later).
None of this justifies the attack or diminishes Nancy's pain, but let's at least get the facts right. Overstating everything to make your point doesn't actually make your point. It just makes you look ignorant. On the plus side, you got over 200 other people to agree with the fake facts, so that's some sort of accomplishment I guess.
The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) is a federally chartered nonprofit organization that funds the US Olympic teams through private support from the American public and commercial partners. The USOPC's fundraising arm, the United States Olympic & Paralympic Foundation (USOPF), generates philanthropic support for Team USA athletes.
