You have no actually proof or even evidence the mocking was race based. It's just race baiting, which is weak.
I've seen much funnier things than that.

Because dude came out of the slide awkward as heck, and injured himself. On a kids slide. It's hilarious, the lack of athleticism.

There's no lack of "athleticism," it probably would have happened to any larger person. It's also not funny that he injured himself, but it wasn't serious. I chuckled because I found the entire incident surreal, not for deranged reasons like being gleeful it happened to a cop. Like I said, I'm sure he will look back on it and get a chuckle too. If you think that can't happen to you, you're deluded.

I’m speculating but am almost certain she didn’t think of it as stealing from children. It likely started really small and as she got away with more the amounts got larger. She might’ve thought she was “owed” based on her position and work she was doing compared to her pay (looks like $140-150k based on Google search).

It's not the first time i've heard someone stealing from their workplace and i'm sure it wont be the last. It just seems kind of worse in that she's stealing money from a school system.

She's a thief, plain and simple. And worse, a thief betraying the public trust. The only thing she's owed is the inside of a jail cell. You bothered to look up her income? And is that amount before or after embezzlement?

Is there any way for an adult to go down a slide in a playground that's not childish lol? Even if you do it with perfect form and stick the landing, you're still a grown man on a child's slide. That's best case scenario. That's kind of why I'd think this cop is probably laughing at the video too. It's not like he thought he was going to look badass and then it somehow all went south.

Tom Brady still has the best viral "grown man on a slide" content IMHO.

Blah blah blah. Your bias against police (and your self-perception of omnipotence) is well established and documented here, so the comment doesn't really surprise me. (lmao) Others have had similar experiences with this slide and why individual experiences vary remains unclear at this point. Having 20 pounds of gear on your belt and a kevlar vest might have played a role. It may also relate to a person's build/weight. A similar slide in Chicago was dismantled due to similar issues.

That's the first thing I thought of, as that would really affect one's balance and weight distribution in how they land. You don't have to be a physics major...
