Johnniqua Charles is, by her own admission, not super Instagram- or Twitter-savvy. So when a video of her being detained on Feb. 5 by security guard Julius Locklear outside Diamonds Gentlemen’s Club in Dillon, South Carolina, for trying to reenter to retrieve her purse went viral, she didn’t ― and still hasn’t ― exactly wrapped her head around it.
In the original clip, Charles questions why the officer is detaining her . It’s been dubbed a protest anthem and it’s catchy as all hell, but for Charles, it offers another, deeper message. “Even though he detained me for nothing, he’s an example of how you handle a situation like that,” she said. “He is an example to cops who have been in the game for years. I wasn’t being out of control but I was agitating him and he wasn’t even agitated. With another cop it probably would have been a situation where it would have been fatal, something like that. Other cops can really learn from him.
Why was she detained? O I know, she broke the law
Lesson learned: get angry, yell at the police, generally, make a scene & you go viral on social media.
This video, to quote the controversial Wendy Williams, is of a 'Typical angry black woman.' If she wanted to retrieve a personal item left in the cub from which she was ejected, why didn't she call the police and ask them to be a go-between and assist her to retrieve her item?
Is Johnniqua a man's or woman's name ?
