Chikesia Clemons Speaks

Chikesia Clemons is making her first public statement since the Waffle House Attack, where police officers violently placed her in under arrest after she requested the phone number for the corporate office when a waitress charged her $0.50 for plastic utensils. When Clemsons started to complain, requesting the phone number, the Waffle House employee called the police.

The reasons for her arrests according to claims was that she was drunk with slurred speech, and was threatening to shoot up the restaurant. Witness statements have refuted these claims.

Today Chikesia spoke out, talking about how much this attack has affected her. “I’m just taking it day by day, it’s just so hard on me. I can’t eat, I can’t sleep, I’m constantly crying. I have a 6-year-old daughter. I’m trying to be strong for her,” Clemons told Sharpton in her interview.

So far, this is the only official statement we’ve seen from the Waffle House corporation, who seems to be in support of how the police handled Chikesia Clemons.

In response to the Waffle House attack, activists are planning a nationwide protest Monday at the restaurant’s metro Atlanta headquarters
