Please Do Not Call the Police

someone has now stolen my car battery lol I’m so tired, can I please catch a break Please do not call the police. You could put a BIPOC's life at risk by causing a police interaction. Just buy a new battery No one said anything about race??? Well we all know it wasn’t a white person who took it. Whoever took it was in need, it’s not like they’re stealing diamonds

A dark Twitter screenshot shows someone reporting that their car battery was stolen, followed by a reply warning against calling the police because it could endanger a BIPOC person. Another user points out the obvious racial assumption, and the final post doubles down by excusing the thief as someone in need. The joke is the absurdly racist and self-contradictory attempt to frame theft as harmless while prioritizing the thief over the victim.
