Was the dispatcher Black as well? I can’t listen. I am at work. Was the dispatcher a man or a woman? No man should ever tell a woman to calm down. That never ever works!
The dispatcher was a woman, and I don’t think she was black.
I am going by voices and names here to attribute race - other articles have more names - race is not mentioned explicitly.
I do want to mention one possibility, suggested by the attitude of the dispatcher and the low key reaction of the police - they took a report after the flare and brick attack on the house. That is that the woman is a hysteric and a fabricator and she burned her own house before she left. Such fakery is not unknown among black or white. Except that the police are still holding one “teen” for arson.
Of course, if all the attacks and break-ins were occurred exactly as she said, the police could still see her as a trouble-maker, a victim nucleus for crime, someone who should simply get out of Dodge.
