They were shopping for clothes, napping in a dorm lounge, playing golf. And somebody called the police. They were guests at a community pool, and one woman called the police, threatened them, even hit one of them. The common thread in all these stories: white people calling the cops on black people just living their lives. Sadly, its nothing new. Were just suddenly seeing it on all those videos gone viral.
The Undefeated: "Shaming white people might stop some of them from calling 911 on us" Rolling Stone: "Why White Women Keep Calling the Cops on Black People" Vox: "Why white people keep calling the cops on black Americans" The Guardian: "The policing of black Americans is racial harassment funded by the state" Detroit Free Press: "Riley: Calling cops on people because of race should be a crime"

I think we here know truth about this.
When blacks go through life with chips on their shoulders and bad attitudes toward whites, bad results occur when they mix.
“Why white people keep calling the cops on black Americans”
Because criminals seldom call the cops on themselves.
Doesn’t everybody know that coffee shops kick innocent blacks out and call the police on them, and that cops target practice on blacks, and whites call the cops on blacks for no reason at all!
< /s>
Or stupid.
Like crossing a street in the middle of a block, towing a toddler and daring drivers not to slam on their brakes...
This gets specially exciting in certain cities that have a huge number of stolen cars, which daily have accidents, kill themselves (no loss) or an innocent other driver or pedestrian.
So? In the same sweeping generalization, the majority of those backs cannot grasp how civilization in the west occurred.
Africa is still struggling to break out of tribalism.
Simple minds fail to see as well as understand.
Then they want to call it racism.
Globally there are problems with unevolved populations.
yeah and how many times do whites call the police on blacks and they deserve it, probably way more. The media is deliberately creating a distorted picture, just like they do with officer involved shootings.
Those calls are not reported in the media. They don't fit the narrative.
There are multiple reasons besides 'racism' and each one has to be examined on their own merits.
But in this case, I called them not because he was black but because he threatened me.
I live in the country but take daily walks down the highway to Love's Truck Stop and McDonald's fast food complex and then back home. I take my dog and it is my daily exercise for my heart. It takes about 45 minutes to make the loop there and back.
The day before yesterday on my walk, I saw this guy on a lawn mower stopped at the back of the complex and I greeted him with, "Good morning. How's it going?" like I always do when I see people on my walk. The guy responded with, "F*ck you white boy" to which I replied, "Well, aren't we in a good mood this morning", flipped him the middle finger and kept on my walk around the complex.
The guy got off his lawnmower and followed me around to the drive-in window at McDonalds 50 yards away. When he caught up with me, he yelled at me that he was going to pour gasoline on me and light me on fire. He had an anti-freeze can in his hand with the cap off and a lighter in the other hand. I was scared.
A yelling match ensued while I tried to backpedal and get out of there before he did something stupid. I'm 70 years old, with two fake knees and a recovering open-heart surgery patient. I can't run anymore. I felt threatened for sure.
I finally managed to back away and finished my walk home. But I drove back to McDonald's to speak to the manager to file a formal complaint. Turns out, this guy worked at McDonalds cutting their grass. And the manager had witnessed the whole episode through the drive-in window.
She said she fired him on the spot and gave me her name as a witness if I wanted to call the sheriff and report it, which I did. I filed a report with them and gave them the names of the people I had contacted at McDonald's who witnessed the whole thing.
This morning I got a call from the sheriff's deputy I had spoken to. He said the guy had been drinking before showing up for work that morning and happened to be on probation for previous offenses. He was already back in jail for violating his probation.
So yes, as a white man, I called the police on a black guy. But now he's lost his job and is back in jail.
Just desserts for a crazy black thug.
right there is no context here. there's no reports of black people calling police on black people or white people and as you say no whites calling on whites. So we are only given the picture the media wants to see, no context, no other information to tell whether its genuine or not.
I don’t know about all of these incidents but I have looked into some. Here are 3 examples of what I found—
1.The two black men at starbucks refused to buy anything even though there were signs in the restaurant that said in order to stay in the restaurant you had to buy something, even though the manager told them they had to buy something to stay
2. At the BBQ in Oakland CA it was illegal to charcoal grill at that location in the park, so the white woman called the cops. whether it should be illegal I don’t, know but those were the rules.
3. Just the other day a black guy was wearing socks in the pool, the white pool manager told them it was a health hazard and that he needed to remove them or leave. He refused to do either, so she called the police.
conclusion: many of these instances blacks brought it on themselves, disobeyed rules etc.
I’m glad things worked out for the best in your situation. many people I am related to and know through friendships, and I myself, have been victimized by black crime, many of these instances quite severe like armed robbery and carjacking.
Black crime in America is a way more serious issue than this “whitey called the police without good reason” stuff. But the media isn’t interested in that narrative, even though its is hundred times more important.
These topics bore me.
I’m not insulting you, but I tired of having to do what you did to get some sort of a reasoned grasp about was taking place.
When I read the part of this article posted here, I automatically adopted the theory that just what you laid out was true.
We have one more attempt at race baiting to leverage a divide along racial lines.
People that do this are despicable.
I honestly think there’s something to the idea of prosecuting people who present lies and half-truths to instigate racial strife.
If only 10 zip codes in America didn't have any violent crime, we would have the crime rate of Iceland. Sadly, all 10 zip codes are democrat controlled, minority filled gun control hellholes.
You should have shot him. He WOULD have burned you alive if he thought he could of get away with it. Start carrying a gun.
In the 1970s I was a white woman that called police because a black man made me very uncomfortable and I still cannot tell you why he made me feel that way. He was polite, in fact almost “too” polite to my coworker and to me. I can tell you when the police questioned him and checked him out it turned out he had a rap sheet for armed robbery, a pistol, and admitted to police he had planned to rob the place when we closed. I never had that feeling about another customer, and I would have called police no matter what color he was- anyone that gave me those vibes was going to get at least checked out by police.
I think it is a “bad person” thing that triggers in your brain and yes it can be wrong, but I tend to think people should pay attention to those warnings. They are not always wrong and may save your life.
I know people call police on other people of all colors so unless there is something showing that it is done to black people more often than it should I am going to believe it is reasons other than color causing the calls. Behavior of the person or instinct of the one that calls- whatever it is, doesn’t have to be racism.
Walking in America is an armed activity.
In an all-white Chicago, murder would decline 90 percent, rape by 81 percent, and robbery by 90 percent."
Exactly right.
It’s hard to balance my admiration for gentlemen of color like Dr. Ben Carson and Justice Clarence Thomas with the grim facts of black criminality.
And matters seem unlikely to improve.
Your advice from afar sounds over the top from my perspective because this incident was an aberration. Not a usual event. It was threatening but carrying a gun and killing him would be a might "overkill" on my walk in the morning. I seldom see anyone on my walk and except at the truck stop and McDonalds where I turn around, there are no people at all. I live in the country.
There were lots of witnesses and people within close range who saw this incident play out. They would have stopped it if I hadn't deescalated it myself or at least helped me if he did try to do something. Lucky for me, his boss saw him do all this from the drive-in window.
Turns out, he had water in the container, not gas, and he had been drinking. And he got fired from his job and is in jail again. Problem solved without putting a bullet in him.
Bringing out the heavy artillery and injuring or killing the man wasn't necessary. One isolated incident over a decade of walking this route doesn't justify me carrying a gun. Maybe in the big city but out here in rural farm country, I don't need it.
