King was “rattled” and left speechless by today’s news on CBS This Morning (via toofab)
"Once again I say thank goodness that there's videotape," said King after viewing the footage."As the daughter of a black man and the mother of a black man, this is really too much for me today."
"I'm still rattled by this last story and she's practically strangling her dog to make these false accusations against another black man," she continued, referencing the Minneapolis incident as well."I'm still so upset by that last story where the man is handcuffed underneath a car where people are pleading he can't breathe and we're watching a man die."
"So we go from that story to this story, where she falsely accuses a black man on television," continued King."I don't even know what to do or how to handle this at this particular time. I know that this is ... I am speechless. I am really, really speechless about what we're seeing in television this morning. It feels to me like an open season and it's not sometimes a safe place to be in this country for black men and today it's too much for me.
After her cohosts reiterated how disturbing Amy Cooper's behavior was, King doubled down on the importance of video in these situations -- saying it's necessary"so you can see what it happening here."
