An innocent woman ‘matched' a MALE suspect's description, police said.

In the land of the free, police officers will assert the power to follow, harass, and begin violence against you if you meet the description. Your innocence is irrelevant when police assert that you "look like a criminal." The bulk of the events covered on the PBWW channel website features innocent melanin guys, and police have no trouble trampling on their rights. However, in the following case, it was an innocent melanin lady who suffered – as a result of officers mistaking her for a male.

Dawnyale Shanks had done no crime, hurt no one, and was almost murdered owing to police negligence on the night she was attacked with numerous lethal weapons aimed at her back, "execution style."

Police reacted to a report of an armed robbery at a convenience shop near Shanks' hotel over the weekend. They were provided with a description of the suspect — a guy — who ran to that motel when they got on location.

The fact that the suspect was a guy apparently made no difference to the arriving cops, who apparently took the first black person they saw, who happened to be Shanks.

Officers assert that they were led to a particular room on the second floor by "someone there" at the hotel. Shanks, not the suspect, was in the room when they arrived.

Officers entered the room and approached it with their firearms were drawn "for their personal protection and the safety of other guests," police stated in an emailed statement to the Star-Telegram.

According to Shanks, the police then requested that everyone leave the room, at which time they held Shanks at gunpoint, with the muzzles of their guns pointed at her back. According to police, after they determined that Shanks was not the male they were seeking but rather a woman, they released her.

According to Shanks, authorities detained her and kept her for hours in two separate police vans, denying her access to the bathroom or her phone to contact for assistance. According to Shanks, she claims she was "lied to, misled, intimidated, and pressured" by police throughout the encounter.

When Shanks was freed, she resumed taping her interactions with police, during which she overheard an officer informing her that the guns pointing at her back as policemen mistaken her for a male "was a learning curve."

"Are you saying that this is a learning curve for you?" Shanks inquires at the beginning of the video. "How about strapping firearms to the backs of innocent people?" Isn't that a learning curve?

Shanks continued to voice her dissatisfaction as the sergeant stared blankly back at her.

"That's a learning curve," Shanks adds, her voice trembling in the TikTok video. "You pressed pistols into my face. Is there a learning curve you're referring to? That constitutes a learning curve? You strapped firearms on my back. That constitutes a learning curve? I may have perished. And that represents a... learning curve for you?"

According to police, the sergeant remarked to Shanks off-camera that each incident they react to is a "learning opportunity," and they informed the Star-Telegram that Shanks' video is "devoid of context."

"I was taken aback. I didn't have time to properly grasp the scenario, and when she alluded to the possibility of my life ending as a learning curve, it registered, it clicked that I'm nothing more than an experiment to these people, and that stung, it wounded me deeply," she said in a TikTok video.

Shanks said that she was given a booklet and a victim assistance hotline number after the event, which subsequently refused her reimbursement. Since then, she has set up a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for the cost of a lawyer.
