(SUBSCRIBE TO THIS CHANNEL and listen LIVE to the Karen Hunter Show, M-F, 3 p.m. ET on the SiriusXM app)
My step niece is Caucasian, very recently, (5/2020) was stopped for speeding in N.C. Turns out her license was expired. The police gave her, the speeding ticket, and warned her that he could arrest her for driving without a valid license. Since she is Caucasian & was emotional (Crying), he did not arrest her. But allowed her to drive home, with a warning to get her license the next day. I am AfroLatina, and mentioning the story to add awareness to the public, that racism is very much alive, in the year 2020.
Carla, thank you for sharing your story.
Arrested for expired license and going through a light???!!! UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!
Right. Usually you just get a ticket
Regular day for a black person in America but our soldiers fight to free other countries from oppression.
I’ve never been arrested for anything other than my own actions and even then I was treated fairly. I’m “black”.
Well, "GOOD" for you, but sadly that is N😡T the reality for MANY Black, and brown people across this country.
@@bluegrod no I don't believe so we can't treat other people as bad as we've been treated it's just not in US
Jeanette Dawson
I will not tire saying this. Black soldiers fight for their country and then return home to be treated like shit.
@@user-gg4vh9jx8j Aren't you special.
Nothing says america like being pulled over for going 2 mph over the speed limit and being asked what you do for a living and how much money you make to afford to live in this neighborhood.
Carla Hall ARRESTED???? That's ridiculous! She's the nicest thing on two legs???
Yes, that is what I said.
@Mary Lane Thank you!!!!!!
One of.
Nice is what you have an issue with?? Honestly??? I beg your pardon Kenneth! Thing?? Really?? Thing?? A little respect please! Lady, woman, girl, not thing!
@@annek1226 I meant no disrespect. Apologies.
I miss you so much on the Chew. You bright so much joy and life to the show. Thank you for all you do. 🙏💚 Arkansas
The Chew was canceled.
I met Carla Hall she's no criminal . Very lovely person & to think of her in jail. Is heartbreaking .
Mother is that you??
There are plenty of Black people who are not criminals and still get harassed and brutalized by the police. Your comment seems to imply that if you haven't met her, you would have wondered if she did something wrong to get arrested!
Having a expired license doesn't make anyone a criminal
I love this lady so very much. She is an inspiration
No one should go to jail for expired driver lic.
Thank you. I couldn't have said it any better myself.
Marisol white
...You can’t drive with an expired license...!?! Where is that not illegal?
@@bellas2cents836 that's not what she's saying. She means it shouldn't warrant going to jail!
@@bellas2cents836 In white America one generally doesn't go to jail for relatively minor traffic offenses.
Am very thankful!' Because i was told to not drive on expire license!'
Ridiculous, locked up on an expired drivers license. What happen to serve and protect ? A ticket would have been sufficient !
A simple summons would have been sufficient, keeping her in jail for three days is definitely a burden to the taxpayers. the one thing police academies absolutely don’t train cops for is the ability to use common sense
In my town doesn’t matter who you are if your the DA you get arrested for an expired license as well.
Mychal Williams you are so correct. I agree with you.
Really should have been a warning. Shame to the cops.
Especially when the city’s shutting down for a weather emergency!
Good to see you Carla. I still miss the Chew😰
I do too!!😔
I do 3, lol💯
I miss the chew too.such a good show and Carla was such a joy to watch.Im still Pissed at ABC no call for it.Those 3 even without Mario did great.
Oh Carla......wow!!! I’m mad now. I’m so sorry to hear about this. I met you briefly on base one day, and I’ve never met a nicer person. ❤️🌹. I’ve never been stopped yet, but I suffer from anxiety any time I have to leave my home alone, and I’m on pins and needles every night that my youngest son has to drive home from work. I’ve served in the military for over 20 years for this country and now it no longer feels like my country because of all the hateful wyte people coming out of the woodworks, plus the”so called peace officers” abusing their power. Something MUST BE DONE NOW!!!! My family is large so I’d like to feel they are all safe living while BLACK 😠
Miss you Carla ♥️
This is sickening! Pulled out of her car because her license expired! I’m so hopeful that change is coming, no one should ever have to live like this.
I'm feeling 2nd hand anxiety 🙁and I'm so glad it didn't go more sideways 🙏🏾🙏🏾 Hopefully we can celebrate that the Cops tv series was officially cancelled today! #BLM✊🏿
cops, first 48, true crime, scared straight, all that type of crap needs to be taken off.
@Michaelle Mcgill you are so right.
I think they put these show on to program the folks that this is going to be the new normal . So you can get use to seeing this.
I'm glad to hear that. I watched it when it first came on TV in the UK. It was traumatizing...
I'm so glad that sh*t is off the air!! My Ex used to look at it back in the 90s and I have NOT watched since back then - when we broke up!👏🏾
I have the same story, except it was in Ohio on a Tuesday. Traumatizing.
Me to in Ohio..... they were terrible, more people went to jail for traffic violation than real crime...
🥺
Just another Tuesday as a black person.
I’m so sorry. Not only is she a talented chef, she’s one of the brightest spots we’ve ever had on tv. She’s an inspiration to all women in the foodservice. She’s funny, bright and beautiful. This should have never happened. Stand up for everyone, Carla.
I am so very sorry Carla Hall. You are a joy.❤
Though i can speak radical and think profound often at times, in this particular situation I'm sympathetic to Carla's past traumatic experience of once being arrested, not only because she's a woman but also she's one of the most humble and pleasant beings we've seen in public view. I was touched simply hearing her say she traditionally told her frightening story of arrest in "a humorous perspective ... and here we are consciously listening while still possessing enough humanity to understand this woman gets through her days in speaking about it in a more suppressed way. A very common traumatic experience in which black people lived through for over 400 years. Malcolm X advised us to tell our oppressors whats on our mind, and to let them know if they don't change how they think about us and or how they treat us, then for sure things won't work out in their favor. "If God be for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:31 (KJV)
The police don't understand that handcuffing someone for an expired license and arresting them, is excessive force. You write them a ticket and have the person call someone to come get them and to drive the car home for you. Simple.
Hey Zoe you believe everything someone tells you. This woman is lying. Can't you see that. Yes black people have been wrongly treated but she is lying
@@gillenwat And you know this how?
@@gillenwat My comment was more general than specific to her. I am curious also though, how you can accuse her of lying. She said it was (apprx) 20 years ago. What information do you have about her police encounter?
@@gillenwat yes i would like to know why you are calling her a liar as well
So SORRY to hear, but you survived it and you're MUCH stronger than BEFORE @ I can identify, the same thing happened to me! Stay STRONG sister, we miss you on THE CHEW ......LOVE YOU
FIVE FREAKING CARS FOR AN EXPIRED LICENSE!!!!! Smh
Wow. Treated her like she had robbed a bank.
Yes surprised... she black
I can't stand to think that Carla was arrested! She is just the sweetest, nicest person on Earth!
@DeGrate1896 You're right of course. I just didn't want to post a windy opinion piece. I thought the video spoke for itself.
So sorry that happened to Carla, can see that it's still painful🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Random stop. Been there. Gun in my face. No crime, so I wasn't arrested. But it definitely sticks with you. So glad she wasn't hurt.
Horrible...
And I thought what I felt when I got pulled over in the suburbs of Philly....
Because my car was reported stolen. I was young and had a slick mouth and I how stupid would it be for me to do that? Cops up here will pull you over if they think you do not deserve to drive what you drive. And, they hate when your paperwork is good. Had me pulled over for like 35 minutes with my hands on the dash in the middle of winter with the windows down....
I lit was over 20byrs ago. I can relive that like it was last night. 😔😔😔😔
A lowdown, dirty Cop came to my home, one freezing cold night, about 4am in the morning, to get my husband to go to the station and pay a traffic ticket. Once inside our home, he took the liberties to go upstairs, where me and my 8 month old daughter was sleeping. I told him that he does not have a warrant and to please go back down stairs! He got angry and told me to wrap up my baby, so that I would go down to the station as well. Mind you, it was about 10 degrees outside! I cried because I knew that he had over stepped his boundaries. I felt totally helpless...I knew that the system would never see my side. This was in 1981 and this is the first time I have shared this. I hope that they de-fund the Police. They are nothing but bullies and killers!
Wow, Mary Martha I'm sorry you went through this. I had a similar story. About 18 years ago a man showed up at my door around 6:00 a.m and identified himself as a police officer. He wanted me to open my door to verify that I was not the woman he was looking for. I felt very uncomfortable opening my door to him that time of morning. Regardless of the fact that he had on a police uniform, what I saw was a stranger trying to enter into my home at 6:00 a.m. He said that he was looking for the female who previously lived in that apartment. I told him that she was not living in my apartment. He insisted I opened my door, so he could see my face and verify that I was not her. Because I felt uncomfortable, I called the police on him and five cops showed up. One being a female. I then cracked my door open and showed my face and spoke directly to her. I learned that the woman they were looking for was white. Clearly they could look at me and see that I was not that woman. They all left and I filed a complaint against the lone officer who came at 6:00 a.m. to my home. I was also told by one of the officers at the station that that particular officer should not have come to my home that time of the morning. They told me to file a complaint and that they would follow up on it. I would never open my door to a stranger and I certainly would not have opened it up to someone wearing a police uniform at 6:00 a.m. What if he was not a real officer and had an ulterior motive. I would have regretted it.
@@jochosen3969, Wow, now that is scary! I'm glad you didn't open the door! I probably would have opened the door out of fear of the police at that time.
Mary Martha
Dont you have brothers? He should have had an ass full of licks. That's what happens when some people get a little power they abuse it. They are also the biggest liars in God's earth.
Jo Ragl jj
Sorry that you had to experience this, sis!! Thank God that you're alive!! And, THAT'S WHY WE NEED POLICE REFORM, right there!! Where is the HUMANITY in these cops? Clearly we CANNOT TEACH these cops!!!💕💯
P. W. I think there are so many of police officers that actually belong to theDesignate CCP as Criminal Organization.
I miss you Carla on tv. I’m glad to see your doing well. ❤️
Carla Hall is the best and sweetest person ever! Crazy things have always happened and people have put them aside to be able to move forward with their lives and not dwell on them!
All Praises sister they would do anything to get you in the system take you through that demeaning aspect of being handcuffed put in the back of that car and taking down to that station to even be spoken to or ask question how in the hell she gets arrested because her license is expired the United Snakes of America
That was definitely abuse of power‼‼
Thank you for sharing.
Ppl react differently to various life traumas as far back (yes to) childhood. Cops have no psychological training in these areas that are trigger points. Yet they capitalize on hoping one has. Then they call it..resisting. This can be brought on by verbal (cop agitating the situation, even as to be yelling. How the hell can you understand someone in your face?) or physically. Seriously, you think someone is suppose to say calm. Depending on the person, their body is internalizing it all.
Check to see what the criteria of length of time required to become a cop. It's ridiculous. Then see how long it takes to become lesser responsibility for minor jobs like a hairdresser.
Arrested for expired license! Is that a crime to even be arrested! I thought they give you a ticket & let you go so you can clear it up on your own with the courts!
Poor Carla, I am sorry you went through that. ❤
I am disgusted by this. I am a white woman and was pulled over for an expired inspection sticker (almost 1 year overdue) and was told to get it inspected ASAP. No ticket, no attitude, nothing! While I didn’t realize I’d let it lapse and was grateful she didn’t give me a ticket, etc. I am wondering what would have been the result if I were black. This profiling has to STOP. Start from scratch, get rid of the bad apples from the police force. So sorry this happened to you and so many others.
Sick. Those people are sick and I think it’s safe to say we no longer need cops...not the ones we have
WHAT??? Carla Hall can't get arrested! I've never seen anyone on TV so humble and supportive as a judge. I absolutely love her!!!
I absolutely love Carla and what she stands for! She is a beautiful soul, she did a birthday video for my mother this year for her birthday and the love that she put into the video shows her wonder soul.
yes, she is.
Being Black in America. SMH
It's hard being Black. Things need to change, price need to change
I HAVE BEEN STOPPED 3 TIMES BY COPS BECAUSE MY BRAND NEW MUSTANG CAR LOOKED SUSPICIOUS. LOL🤦♀️
WHO IN THE WORLD GOES TO JAIL ON AN EXPIRED LICENSE!!!! I MET HER AT THE AFRICN MUSEUM IN DC WITH MY LATE HUSBAND’S MOTHER. CARLA WAS SWEET ENOUGH TO LET ME TAKE A PICTURE WITH HER. CARLA IS SUCH SWEET PERSON.
Unacceptable! That is most certainly not an arrestable offense. 😡
Why were they arresting you. Why not MPDC. That's a ticket not a lock up offense. I was a cop with MPDC. Why Bureau of engraving they dont have authority on the streets just on their property. That's weird. Did you run a light or something. They did not have probable cause to stop you. You have 90 days to renew you license from date of expiration back than a ticket and you on your way. I'm mad that happened to you. Insane.
Hi, I have a question. Can she get the offense removed from her record, considering it's a moving violation? I agree with you that arresting her made no sense.
She stated she ran the light, because she was behind a big truck. So sad, this could be any of us. Blessings!
😠 arrested for an expired drivers license...shame on the cops. She should have received two warnings...1. Get your DL renewed and 2. Please take cover due to the tornado heading this way.
They find any excuse to use black people to bank roll their pay role. Criminals have no money. Regular black people will certainly find it. And an expired license is not an arrestable offence. It’s just a ticket.
I remember when my husband and I were dating. He would have to take a certain route from his home in Inglewood to my home in Torrance to avoid getting pulled over. He was pulled over on a weekly basis for such ridiculous things as, not enough tread on his tires. Pathetic.
They are terrorists plain and simple.
Love U my Sisters ❤❤❤❤
Carla, I so admire you and cannot (like most people) imagine you being arrested. Thank you for sharing the reality of being a woman in a patriarchal society.
I had a very nice officer. He was white. My license was expired also. He told me to exit the car. Then he told me he was leaving and don't drive but I should go straight home. He said while he's gone to go home he didn't want to see me drive away but he knew I was . And get my license taken care of. The anguish and joy at the same time was painful. I went straight home. The next day I got my updated license. There are more good cops than bad out there. This happened 30 years ago. It was still nerve wracking to be stopped. God bless.
Thanks for sharing
Love Carla sorry that it happened you make me laugh , not to mention your fabulous chief! You are a blessing in any lives! 🌵🛐✝️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏼🌵
Carla one of my favorite chefs
It is soooo surprising!!! She clearly poses no threat!! Carla Hall is the most sweet and approachable personality in the media. Cop had control issues, im sure!!
Absolutely typical. I’m not shocked at all. This is an ordinary day in our reality.
Khy Garner bullshit.
@@elizabethharris156 no bullshit!!! Just painful....we dont have time , resources, or energy to seek justice every GD day..we have bills to pay, dreams to suffer/sacrifice towards, and families to care for....remember we still make far less $ for the same jobs as our counterparts.....if white women are still fighting for equality, equal pay. Etc.....a five year old can figure it out ....this isnt rocket science.
EXACTLY
@@lookup912 ....that's right
look up and I have time? I’m different? You want respect from me but you’re not going to give me respect? Screw you. I’m white and you have no idea what I’ve been through. And it doesn’t sound like you care.
I felt like collapsing as I listened to you speak of your ordeal.🙏🏽
Being in a situation like that it's not hard to imagine how someone can get charged with resisting arrest and possibly assaulting an officer - just out of sheer fear and discombobulation - when all they did was commit a minor violation.
She seem like the sweetest person ever. Like you could literally meet her and just start a conversation with her.
she really is.
Just Love ❤️ ya Carla!!! You need your own show on the Food Network
Five patrol cars for an expired license? Did she do something that they knew about but she didn't.
She “fit a description” 🤨😞
Why there always have to be a Swap Team for something that requires a fine. Its always a gang. Should we call them Gangsta Cop now
Arrested for an expired license which resulted in a weekend in jail just blocks from her home??? And the nerve of the female officer.
Hey Carla you are awesome a fan
Such a beautiful lady. Talk about over policing.
ABSOLUTE OVERKILL!!!
This is the exact thing that happen to me in Oakbrook IL 4 police cars and fingerprinted
So sorry to hear this happened to you. Virtual hug. They should have given you a paper warning and you could fix it. That is abuse and humiliating. Terrible for not a big crime. This is awful. I am glad things may change.
I am a 63 y/o white woman, born and raised in central Va in a small rural town. I was not raised that black lives matter. I was raised that ALL lives matter, which is how I did my best to raise my child, not through words, but through example. That something like this could happen in 1996 in DC is outside of the scope of anything -- part of it is, here was a robo cop who has very little power in life -- 5 cop cars responding to an expired license during an emergency situation is ridiculous -- I worked in the law for almost 30 years -- In Va., driving on an expired license is simply a matter of a ticket and calling someone to come pick you up, and then when you get your license renewed, you pay the fines and the court usually dismisses the charge completely -- it's a matter of paperwork. Two of our dearest friends are black, but a long time ago they ceased being black and I ceased being white and we are just "friends" who care a lot about each other. As a white woman, these are the type of stories that need to be made public -- in a calm manner -- Maya Angelou said: when you know better, you do better -- how can a white public insist that its policing agencies do better, when we're not aware of instances as simple as this -- as opposed to a black suspected criminal -- last year at a public memorial day community picnic in a public park, at the other end of the park were literally "gang bangers" -- it's how "they" described themselves -- they began shooting at one another, and into the crowd at the picnic, and a little 9 y/o girl was shot and killed -- she was black, the suspects were black. And so what did the "white" community see -- "another black on black crime" because when the suspects were finally apprehended, they were making noise about police brutality, which the arrest was on video, and it was pretty much "by the book" -- but nobody from any community -- I live in a very diverse city now -- cared how "these people" were treated, because they murdered that little girl in cold blood as she was running through the bullets to get to her mother, who was also running through the bullets to get to her -- I promise you, had the suspects been white, they still would have been reviled -- I was talking to my black friends about this -- I hate using that term, because they're literally my dear friends, but we can speak openly about everything with each other -- and they made the point that, you can have 20,000 black members of the community who work hard, raise their families, etc. but then you have 10 black criminals such as the shoot-out suspects, and -- these are their words: it taints the whole race -- and it's not limited to only black people -- we have a large middle eastern community, and hispanic communities -- they get it, too -- as a white woman throughout my life, I've been subject to racism from black people -- this is 2020; this has to stop -- the older I get, with age comes wisdom, about the only thing good about getting older! -- and as I get older, every day it becomes more clear to me, we are all God's people -- we ALL want the same things from life -- food, shelter, happiness for our children, fulfiling careers, freedom to worship whomever and however we choose without imposing our beliefs on others and theirs on us, unless we are asked or do ask -- I am hopeful -- thank you for your time, thank you to Carla for sharing her story -- I hpoe and pray this movement forward doesn't stop, but that it is the first steps in achieving change. I don't know how you guys feel about this, but it honestly kind of disgusts me, all these companies "standing with you" -- where were they the week before this all happened -- I'm so sorry Mr. Floyd lost his life in the manner he did, but his death was surely not in vain -- Patricia
I felt this... I am this2! Traumatic experience we have with cops. Even friskd by male cop. I feel this💯💯💯
I'm so sorry that happened to you. I've admired you when I saw you on the Chew you were so cool on that show.
I'm so thankful that when I got pulled over for speeding by a white cop and he told me my license was expired. I was like OMG am I going to jail. He laughted and was like no, you're license is expired not suspended. Just get your license tomorrow. He told me to just slow down and let me go. This was right after Eric Gardner was killed.
Carla so good to see you!
Sorry for your sad experience.
God bless you.
By the way I love your glasses.
Do I have to register or affiliate with a party before I vote in the primary?
No. A registered voter is not required to pre-register or take any steps towards affiliating themselves with a party before voting in a party’s primary election. (§162.003) Additionally, when a person registers to vote in Texas, they do not register with any kind of party affiliation.
Wow that’s crazy. Sure wish I could’ve heard the rest of the story. I’m sorry that happened to you
It wouldn’t make a difference to your type.
She went to jail for an expired license? They probably would have put her under the jail for jaywalking
Smh all of that for forgetting to register her licenses.
expired license???
An expired license...? Five patrol cars? Why is this still happening?
You know why and if you don't, please understand systemic racism.
She's one of the nicest women out there.
In my early 20s i was being harassed by a police officer. I was working full time and worked diff shifts. I was followed night and day, stopped for fabricated reasons and always let go. But one of those nights he stopped me. Yelling at me to put my hands up then getting out of car then he tbrew me dont face first. I was yelling at him at this point. Mind u it was at night and farm country. Nothing around but Amish Farms. He had me lay tbere which felt like eternity then from his car tells me i can go. This was in PA. Ive hated The police till i moved to AZ. I have gotten to know really good police officers here. I agree there are many bad Cops but there are also good ones.
One thing about, those who have done dirty, and you know who you are. You are not getting back. Can you imagine, what kind of hearts, people have. Lord fight our battles, n remember our struggles.✌✌✌😢😢😢😢
I understand and agree fully how she felt it's unnecessary all this little crap with the big problems in the murderers and stuff they should spend time on that not an expired license
Wow . Over the top!
Karen it happened to me. You never get over it. It's is very traumatic. Those feelings will always stay with you. I trust no one that has any connection to the cops. I was devastated to the point I couldn't believe why I was being arrested . I shouldn't of never been arrested in the first thing. I done nothing wrong. But it saltays with you. I'm 64 years old and I never been in any trouble. But like I said it sticks with you. I'm so sorry you went through the same horrible situation. Now I don't go out much feel safer at home. It destroyed me.
That’s horrible 😟 and really sad that she had to go through that.😢
Sickening. Absolutely sickening.
I'm so sorry that is awful, can a Sister work without the police in our business 😔 !!
that is bs to be arrested for expired license wow . i would have sued
Carla was lucky. She is illustrating yet another example of the unjust treatment of Black people by so-called law enforcement. Over reaction by cops because of being a Black person is exactly how most of these "accidental force resulting in death" cases happen. It's not fair, and Our Family is tired of this tactic!😤
Sorry to hear this about you it is just ridiculous they need to apply to the golden rule what it says treat others as you want to be treated love your cooking show amazing
I’ve been through it before. It is frightening. I’m white and this was when I was around 48 years old and it was frightening for me so, I multiply the fear I felt by 10 to get a better perspective of how someone who is black might feel in the same situation. I’m scared of the police, always have been. I’ve had a few personal experiences with them and each time I remained completely subservient.
I was arrested and booked in the City and County Jail, because of an Expired Parking Meter Ticket!!!!!
Sorry that happened to you, Angela!
I just love Carla Hall I used to watch her on the chew I also had the opportunity to meet her she came to wegmans a couple of years ago in syracuse for her new cookbook signing I was thrilled to meet her she was just like she was on the chew just a really nice person I miss not seeing her on the chew they never should have taken that show off the air ☹
Arrested!!??? Well damn!! I saw just this woman on cooking w/ Bobby Flay ...
When I heard her tell this story on Girlfriends check in, it reminded me of what my cousin recently told me about getting pulled over & arrested in Texas for a bounced check from many years ago. Why are they arresting people for this? Why wouldn’t they let her just pay? Then they were very rude and nasty to her and she was there for days...And even though she told the story in a very light-hearted & funny way, just like Carla P Hall did, I know it was traumatizing. This justice system needs a complete overhaul.
Yes very much so people are human beings first and foremost and should be treated as such people are not animals
For an EXPIRED DRIVERS LICENSE??? Unbelievable but more proof of the discrepancy about how police exercise their authority to invoke the law. SO WRONG ☹️
Wow not you Carla are with us wow
OUR HEAVENLY FATHER GODS USA BLACK AFRICANS AND ALL BLACK AFRICAN ARE DONE WITH HATE!!! IM GRATEFULL ALL GODS PEOPLE IS STANDING UP TO USA ABUSE AND KILLING FOR NOTHING ON GODS PEOPLE!!! OUR HEAVENLY FATHER GOD MUST GET JUSTICE FOR ALL GODS PEOPLE!!! I PRAY IN JESUS NAME!!!
Amen Amen Amen
Treasure Love amen
So sad
There’s more to this story that it’s being told!
