A Publix employee told a Cobb County officer that she witnessed part of the conversation and heard Thomas “continuously tell Eric Sparkes to ‘Go back where you came from!’” but did not hear Sparkes utter those words to Thomas.
Both Thomas and Sparkes have called on Publix to release a video of the incident, which has not yet been made public. But the officer who reviewed the tape, which did not include audio, described it in the report.
He wrote that Sparkes “did not appear to be irate” during the confrontation and that he quickly retreated from Thomas as she moved his way “pointing her finger at him.” When she moved toward Sparkes a second time, a Publix staffer waved for him to leave and Thomas turned to her daughter and paid for her items, he wrote. The dispute lasted about 45 seconds.
She doesn't seem like the aggressive finger-pointing type.

Here's the video. She's acting exactly as confrontational as she did in the news interview, to literally no one's surprise. Definitely nothing to go home and cry about.

Oops.
But thankfully this will start a discussion on race relations, and absolutely nothing will happen to the brilliant cosponsor of the bill to recognize Georgia's Grammy winners. Or Georgia's Oscar winners. Or CNN's Dana Bash. Or Queen Latifah.
